Rose Montgomery, her brother Charlie, and their mother are on the run from something. We don't find out what until the end of the book, but what we do know is they are moving in an old RV to a town called Fort Glory in Oregon because Charlie asked Rose to. Rose and her mother find jobs in a diner and and Rose and Charlie start school and Rose is hopeful to get a house here from a group that helps you build your own house. As they are new in town Rose meets Ian, a kid accused of murdering his parents, Blaine, a kid who is bullied at school and she also has to take care of Charlie, who seems to get bullied and picked on everywhere they go because he is different. He is sweet, kind, and takes care of others, but also seems to sense things in the universe. As Rose goes to the neighboring town to apply for the house, the whole town of Fort Glory disappears with Charlie and her mom. Rose, Ian, Blaine and some others are trying to find their way back to find their family and friends and save themselves.
I loved the story (even though I'm not a sci-fi person) up until the end....I won't spoil it, but ugh. I wish it had ended differently, even though it is a nice closure and hopeful.
