A Small Free Kiss in the Dark

I love this narrator, and it was engrossing to camp out inside his head. He sees everything with an artist's eye, and he teaches you to appreciate the color and light and shape of the people and places he meets. His rich detailed observations allow his thoughts to become your thoughts, and you effortlessly follow along his journey, step by step. He's a runaway looking for a place to call home and people to call family in a world that's suddenly fallen into chaos.
