The story starts out with three siblings walking home from school. They stumble across a boy in a field who has been severely beaten up. By stopping and calling for help, the siblings have saved the boy’s life. What follows is sort of a coming-of-age story that alternates between the three siblings’ points of view. Duncan’s story was by far my favorite, and his bond with the new family dog, Lily, is adorable. The writing throughout the book is phenomenal and it was such a joy to read. It was also on the shorter side, which I have personally been enjoying lately. Thank you Harper and Goodreads for my advance copy of The Boy in the Field! Be sure to look out for this book in August.
