What a quirky, fun, uplifting, and intriguing novel. Clayton Stumper may be 26 years old, but I would have to classify this as a coming-of-age story. When his beloved adopted mother dies he must solve puzzles if he wants to know where he came from and who his parents are. He has always been an old soul and has lived with his mother’s elderly friends, the Fellowship of Puzzle makers, his entire life. Their stories will tug at your heartstrings as you try and solve the puzzles along with Clayton as he tries to find out who he is and who he will become.
