Review: A List of Cages

A List of Cages by Robin Roe
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book broke my heart for both boys.

Adam is a senior, with ADHD, who is well liked, always happy, considered clumsy.
Julian is a freshman, who is small, nervous, abused by his uncle, lived with Adam as a foster kid when he was younger.

p 188 contains a quote from Julian that I loved.
People I love will be watching me. Their eyes like safety nets, I can't fall.

Questions I was left with after reading or things that made me uneasy:
(view spoiler)[
Why was the uncle killed rather than in jail?
Doesn't anyone remember that the recordings of the abuse are still around?
What about Julian's inheritance money, house?
Why the police were so weird with Adam--did they think he'd been the abuser?
