The heart-wrenching finale to the raw and compelling Carnegie-nominated contemporary YA novel about found family, The Boy Who Steals Houses, from the New York Times bestselling author of Don't Let the Forest In.

The problem with being a lost thing is that sometimes, even when you're found, you don't know how to belong.

Sam and Avery have finally found a place to belong, but now the only home they've ever known is slipping away. The De Laineys are being forced to sell their butter-yellow house, and their cosy, chaotic family is crumbling.

Sam feels lost without Avery depending on him and throws himself into an apprenticeship - desperate to prove he can build something that stays. Avery struggles to find a purpose that isn't protecting Sam and is forced to face the reality that a house is just wood and nails unless you know how to belong inside it.

Then their past comes knocking - and it threatens to tear down everything they love.

Learning how to build houses is one thing, but can broken boys be rebuilt?
