Series note: KiT! is also published in multi-book compilation editions.
Thirteen-year-old Jamie Keane has a schedule for nearly every hour of his life.
Almost none of it was chosen by him.
Then one morning, he never walks into school.
Private investigator Kit Calder is hired to find the missing boy, but Jamie’s carefully managed life gives her surprisingly little to work with. His phone is still at home. His parents insist he’s a good kid who would never run away. His calendar is packed with tutors, music lessons, fencing, and obligations.
Then Kit finds the sketchbook nobody knew he had.
Its pages show a different Jamie: subway platforms, city streets, strangers on benches, and one corner of Washington Square drawn again and again.
Finding Jamie is only the beginning. Because the boy may have seen something adults would rather dismiss—and someone knows exactly how to use his sense of responsibility against him.
To protect him, Kit will have to do something she finds much harder than solving problems: stop choosing for someone else.
THE BOY WHO NEVER CHOSE is a warm, sharp-edged New York mystery about family, responsibility, and a thirteen-year-old learning that his own answer is allowed to count.
