Theo and Robin are an interesting father-son duo. Robin is obsessed with animals, the environment, and doing what a nine-year-old can to save the world. He is also showing distressing symptoms of behavioral problems. He has outbursts, trouble reigning in his anger, and really just misses his mother.
At the heart of the novel is Theo. He loves his son and will do anything to keep safe, happy, and healthy—except medicate him.
So the story goes of Theo and Robin: their shared love for nature and Robin’s mom. The experimental program that helps Robin with science and his late mother’s soul. And the undeniable love between father and son.
It truly was a beautifully written novel, it just wasn’t the one for me.
