It's one of those books where you really have no idea WHY things happened and figuring it out and how it will end is nearly impossible. The author has created something unique with this novel and I am super excited to see what she comes up with next.The story is about 6 children who go missing on their first day of kindergarten and aren't found until 11 years later when they come back home with no memories of what happened over these years. It is told in alternating points of view which allows readers a glimpse into the minds of 2 of the kids who were kidnapped and one who is the sister of a kidnapped boy. Intertwined in the story is a second mystery as well. Because even though 6 children were taken only 5 of them came back. So what happened to the sixth child? Why were they taken in the first place? And who is behind everything?As far as the plot goes, I think the whole concept is very original. However, I did find the ending to be a little underwhelming as I felt like I was hanging onto the edge of my seat up until the point. That's not to say the ending was bad because it's not. But I was hoping for a bit more in terms of emotions from the characters and a little more information about the lives of these kids in the aftermath of figuring out what happened. Perhaps a nice little epilogue would have helped?Other than this, the novel is pretty fantastic. I'll admit, there were times when I thought this book was going sci-fi on me, and then I thought it was turning into a murder mystery and so on. This is all due to how the author tells the story and weaves it through readers minds. For me, this makes it so much more interesting and I couldn't be more pleased with it.So, if your looking for a unique mystery I would certainly recommend this book. It's told in a way that will leave readers anxious to know more while also adding an enjoyment factor as well. I will be looking for more of the authors work in the near future based on this novel. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GREAT BOOK *by S***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 7, 2023* I was entranced by this book from the beginning. It held my attention and I finished it in one day. Easily one of my favorites. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Unique and Surprising *by E***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 2, 2022* Altebrando picks you up and plops you down in what feels like a hazy, distorted view of the world. She has done an excellent job of portraying the feelings and emotions of her characters, and making you feel just as confused and scared as they are. While I appreciated the fresh take on the classic case of missing children that come back after years away, I did feel that the ending left a lot to the imagination and was not wrapped up in a way that felt satisfying. I applaud the creativity and thought provoking beginning and middle of the book, but sometimes it is important to remember that endings are not always happy or as they seem like they should be. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/61806425-the-leaving](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/61806425-the-leaving) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
