In the small town of Bone Gap where the corn whispers almost as much as the people do, there is a mysterious man who walks between the worlds. It is no surprise when people suddenly leave town, as Finn and Sean’s mom and boyfriend did a few years back. So when the beautiful Roza disappeared one night, no one from town was surprised. Young Finn saw the whole thing, the man in the black SUV took her away, but no one believed him. The beautiful Roza who he had found battered and beaten laying on a pile of hay in the old red barn was gone. His brother Sean had nursed her back to health while she stayed in the unrented room of their house. The beautiful Roza who baked the most delicious cookies, who made Sean smile again, was gone. Just like his mom was gone.
Roza is a foreign exchange student from Poland who finds herself the object of a cruel man’s world, the object of the dark man’s affection. He can give her anything she wants, a castle with servants and beautiful clothes, her own personal chef – just love him, just love him. But she does not, she loves Sean and longs for his rescue. She longs to go home to her “babcia”, her grandma in Poland.
In the meantime, Finn finds summer love and someone who finally believes in him. Priscilla, (don’t call me that!), “Petey” Willis lived with her mom and the bees. They made the sweet honey cakes for the café, and Petey made sweet honey kisses in the light of the moon. Finn snuck away every night on the black mare (which appeared in the barn just as suddenly as Roza did) and the two rode in between the worlds and back again.
Then Finn saw that man again, only this time he was across the street at old man Valentine’s house. That dark man knew everything, he knew about Petey and Sean, and where was Roza? What did Valentine know? He knew enough to confirm to Finn that he was the only one who could go after her, he was the only one who could “see” her. No one in the town believed him, not even Sean. He was too blinded by his pain, his anger at having been left by everyone he loved. Finn had to do it, he had to save Roza.
He left that night in search of the gap, the place where the two worlds collide, where the corn whispers “here, here, here.” The mare couldn’t take him, he had to do this alone. How will he ever find Roza? Will he find his way home again, or be lost to the other world forever?

I know how it ends, but I would not want to ruin it for you. You will have to read it yourself, and I would recommend you read it. This book was full of surprises, although it took until the second chapter of the first section before I got into the “flow” of the way the book was going to go. It jumps back and forth between characters, which is good for a young audience with a short attention span. Two things I really liked about this book. First of all, it was not a typical, scripted, predictable, cliché fantasy teen romance. Secondly, it was full of little metaphors within the writing which gave the story a deeper, twofold meaning – just like the two worlds presented in the story. For example, “least, that’s what it looked like. A roped-off room in a castle somewhere, a room made entirely of blocks of stone, icy and cold, even though a fire burned low in the hearth. A room where doomed queens went to die” (Ruby, 2015).
This book is a great read for teens and adults!

Bone Gap Laura Ruby Books Reviews

Honesty this is one of the better books I've read in awhile. It's YA but with real, fleshed out characters. It's like a John Green coming-of-age story with actual depth. It uses fantastical scenery and imagery enough to make your head spin but in a good way, like a carnival ride. It's teenage memory or wish fulfillment (take your pick), but without cardboard characters and pandering to the reader. I really don't know what to say other than i need to reread this one at some point. I think I got the book on sale in the kindle store about a year or more ago, and I regret that it sat unused so long. Just read this one; I can't imagine anyone regretting doing so.
Bone Gap doesn't really have a real gap..but maybe a magical one. Two brothers Finn and Sean are having growing pains after they were left to take care of each other on their farm. One day a beautiful girl shows up in their barn.. she stays but one day Finn sees her taken captive by a mysterious man. While searching for her, Finn falls in love with the beekeepers daughter who everyone thinks is ugly..except for Finn. She figures out why Finn can't remember the man who stole away the pretty girl from the barn and her faith is love is shaken. But due to Charlie Valentine and a magical Black Horse, the mystery unravels and love prevails. Some concepts like the magic.. weren't explored in any depth.. I know the story's main focus was on love but I think that there were many things that could have been explained better without ruining the plot. The ending.. left me hanging.. like happily ever after..but will they stay or travel?? Other than that I thought it was a curious, and mysterious story and melted my heart!
I wanted to read Bone Gap because it promised midwestern magical realism - whispering corn fields that hide pathways to other worlds, gossiping townsfolk, disappearing girls and a beautiful boy who sees beauty in an entirely different way. It delivered on that promise in droves, and also surprised me with its thoughtfulness, and with a twist on one (or some) of my favorite myths.

Finn O'Sullivan is a clever answer to the type of characters that frequently show up in Young Adult books. He and his brother Sean are literally without parents - after their father died, his mother took off with a new love and left them to fend for themselves - and they're both smart, good-looking and well-liked by the town, but in different ways. Sean is the muscular savior who always wanted to be a doctor, Finn is the spacey heartthrob who literally has no understanding of his appeal (and I do mean literally, that turns out to be quite important).

Because this book when its not about supernatural beings who steal people into the Underworld, its about how we see each other, and what beauty truly is. Roza, the lost girl who shows up in the O'Sullivan barn, lives a life through Poland to the United States to someplace that no one can reach, and through it all people don't actually sees her. They see her beautiful face, and it overpowers her strength and compassion. It was hard to read about what Roza went through. It's hard to be reminded of what women have to go through on a day to day basis. Petey, or Priscilla, is on the opposite side of the spectrum as Roza - as she is deemed the "ugly" girl - and in much the same way assumptions are made about her and her relationships because people don't actually see her.

But Finn does. Finn is sweet and adorable and awkward and he's not supposed to be a hero. But he is because he won't quit - he won't stop looking for Roza, he won't stop loving Petey, or trying to make his brother happy, or make a better life for himself. You understand why he is loved, but not quite trusted. When he finally decides to step forward and take matters into his own hands, its because he understands that he sees things the way no one else does, and that's he why he's the only one for the job.

Laura Ruby's writing is subtle and clever, the interludes of Petey's poems and Finn's "essays" are funny and touching. She creates characters and a setting that are tactile and real, but are still are lifted by magic. There's a bitterness in Roza's portions of the story that is hard to swallow, and the scenes where she is first kidnapped are so surreal in comparison to the more earthy magical realism of the town of Bone Gap, that the first half the book feels a little disjointed. But it all comes together really beautifully. This book is incredibly unique not just for being a damn good read, but also the message it has and the way it tells it.
In the small town of Bone Gap where the corn whispers almost as much as the people do, there is a mysterious man who walks between the worlds. It is no surprise when people suddenly leave town, as Finn and Sean’s mom and boyfriend did a few years back. So when the beautiful Roza disappeared one night, no one from town was surprised.

His brother Sean had nursed her back to health while she stayed in the unrented room of their house. The beautiful Roza who baked the most delicious cookies, who made Sean smile again, was gone. Just like his mom was gone.
Roza is a foreign exchange student from Poland who finds herself the object of a cruel man’s world, the object of the dark man’s affection. He can give her anything she wants, a castle with servants and beautiful clothes, her own personal chef – just love him, just love him. But she does not, she loves Sean and longs for his rescue. She longs to go home to her “babcia”, her grandma in Poland.
