Synopsis

Perfect for fans of David Arnold and Jeff Zentner, this young adult novel from the author of Playlist for the Dead is an intriguing mystery about family, secrets, and how to move forward when the past keeps pulling you back.

Patrick “Pack” Walsh may not know where he’s going in life, but he’s happy where he is. He’s got a job lined up for himself after graduation. A great girlfriend. And can’t really see himself ever leaving his small town. Then, on his eighteenth birthday, a letter from his mother changes everything. Because she’s dead. At least, that’s what he always believed.

As Pack begins a journey to uncover the truth about the parents he thought he knew, the family he didn’t know he had, and the future he never realized he wanted, he starts to have a whole different understanding of his life—and where he wants to go from here.

Questions I Want to Ask You is a contemporary realistic coming-of-age story with an emotionally-driven mystery at its core. Kirkus praised it as "a well-rounded, much-needed portrait."

How do you find your future when your whole past is a question?

• A Powerful Father-Son Bond: Pack and his dad are a team. But the search for his mother threatens to reveal secrets that could tear their close relationship apart.
• An Unraveling First Love: He and his girlfriend Maddie have their future planned, until the letter arrives and pulls them in opposite directions.
• Small Town Mystery: In a town where everyone knows your business, Pack discovers that the biggest secrets are the ones kept at home.
• A High School Senior Story: On the cusp of graduation, Pack must decide between the comfortable future he always wanted and the unknown truth he desperately needs.
