The ritualistic “sharing” begins with the affirmation: “He is the floor beneath our feet and the roof above our heads. He is the walls around us. He is the window through which we see into ourselves and the door that leads to a better understanding. He is always watching…” Thus beginneth the opportunity for four captured children to confess to an error and one of the four to take a torturous consequence on behalf of the group as part of His plan. The four children are part of His networked cult and are brainwashed into acting and looking like 4 siblings from a distant time known as The Special Ones. The Special Ones talk to followers online each night to give advice on how to live a pious life. The Special Ones live in a compound without electricity or running water, with basic supplies arriving miraculously at night from Him, but with the expectation that they can farm and forage from themselves to survive. When a Special One receives their “renewal” notice from Him, they don’t know if they will be let go from the kidnapping, kept captive elsewhere or killed. And when one person leaves on renewal, a new person is “collected” and brought in to take their place. Told from two points of view, that of a kidnapped sibling “Esther” and the “Him”, Bailey has a knack for eerie, suspense-laden story-telling. The story moves quickly once the premise is realized and though it is not very realistic, it will keep readers wanting to see it through to the end. Highly recommended for middle and high school libraries for fans of mystery and suspense.
