Dev becomes a carny, and befriends a young boy named Mike who lives with his mother in a large home on the water. Mike has muscular dystrophy. With some magical realism and mysticism, including the "sight" they solve an old murder that took place in the park, and in doing so Dev learns about love, life, and the edges of what we can really know about the world and the people in it. Dev crushes on Mike's mom Annie, who is 10 years older. ## What else do I wonder about? ## Action ## When do I want to stumble across this? ## Source: King, S.
