Right Behind You by Gail Giles

4.0

Ages 13+ (language) A nine year old douses a seven year old with gasoline and sets him on fire. The seven year old dies, and the 'murderer', Kip, is institutionalized until he's fourteen, when he's deemed fit to reenter society, with a new name and thousands of miles away from his native Alaska. With the help of his father, stepmother, and a few therapists, Kip - now called Wade - must struggle to come to grips with his past actions and make decisions about what he can reveal to the new people in his life. The novel is set up as a book of his story that he gives another character, to confess what he has done. A page-turner.
