Finding Him: Thoreau Book One

Thoreau Jones, 15, has had a terrible life since his older brother left Gray Shadows. His parents constantly remind him that it's his fault Emerson took off, just like it's his fault for being "retarded." If only his brain wasn't so broken, Mommy Daddy wouldn't have to "fix" him every day or keep him locked in a cage in the attic.

When his parents finally give up on him, they ship him off to Five Fangs with the warning that Emerson will either keep him or kill him. Thoreau knows his brother won't want him and can only hope that his death will be quick. However, it isn't death that awaits the sweet boy at Five Fangs, and the Moon Goddess has more blessings in store for him than he could have ever imagined...

The first two books in the Thoreau series follow the timeline established in Posy, the first Five Fangs series. Thoreau books three and four then jump three years into the future on the eve of Reau's 18th birthday.
