Jeffrey Ford's Young Adult novel The Shadow Year narrates the grotesque meeting of a 1960's classically dysfunctional American family with the Sandlot, Sherlock Holmes, and the reason Children don't talk to strangers or eat fresh baked cupcakes on Halloween. This is the most beautiful, fantastic, and scary book that I have read since Zafon's Shadow of the Wind. High praise indeed!
I give this one a 9.25 / 10.
