Why read it?

2 authors picked Three Boys Gone as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Three boys drown during an outdoor education camp (not a spoiler). I was hooked by the way this book explores the fallout after a tragedy, looking at different character perspectives and the role of the media. I couldn’t put this one down and the story has stayed with me.

As an ex-teacher, this was every teacher's nightmare to me. Losing students to wild surf while under your care and responsibility brings chills to the spine. The teacher is faced with impossible choices, which are very relateable.
