2018 School Spending Survey Report
It is spring 1995, and Nate Cartwright is a broken man. His parents are dead, his brother estranged, and his job as a Washington, DC, journalist has been taken away from him. Hoping to collect himself and see what comes next, Nate heads to the mountains of Oregon, where his family summer cabin lies in the small town of Roseland. Except, upon his arrival, Nate finds a man named Alex there, along with a 10-year-old girl who calls herself Artemis Darth Vader. Caught between his wounded past and an unexpected future, Nate joins Alex and Artemis in their frantic race for freedom. Artemis’s name is actually the least unusual thing about her, and those hunting for Artemis want her back—no matter what.
VERDICT Even as the character arcs pack emotional punches and the plot builds with intensity, the story is balanced with the humor and wry character introspection Klune (In the Lives of Puppets) is known for. Previously self-published, this reissued stand-alone only solidifies Klune’s reputation for skillful prose and worldbuilding.
