About the Book

Without warning, a five-year-old boy becomes invisible to his family and the world around him. Unseen. Unheard. Forgotten. He chases after his parents, but the only person who can see him is another child experiencing the same separation. Left to make a life of their choosing, they give themselves new names-Des and Mar. Three more children across the world-Pab, Ren, and San-are removed as well. They are free to do as they please, go where they wish, and explore without limits. They have different ideas as to why this is happening and what to do next. But they all ask the same questions: Is it a gift or a curse? How many more will be removed? Is there a way to break the separation? Would it be safe to be seen again? After they grow into teenagers and find one another, they discover answers and their first sense of belonging-a new family ready to find a home. However, peace is threatened by a little girl in danger as Des tries to help from across the separation.

Review :
IndieReader RATING: 4.8 stars (out of 5) TO HOVER OVER WATERS is a speculative YA novel that follows five children as they navigate a world where no one can see, hear, or remember them. Author Jesse Banner effectively shifts perspectives throughout the novel, with each chapter focusing on two or three characters; this approach keeps the story moving and brings insight into the core experiences that shape each child. Beyond simply learning how to survive while unseen, Banner revels in exploring the deep emotional impacts. IR Verdict: TO HOVER OVER WATERS is a reflective, unique and lyrical literary novel for young adults with nuanced characters, global adventures, and dreamlike storytelling that uses its intriguing premise as a backdrop to explore the far-reaching trauma of abandonment. Jesse Banner's intentional and eloquent storytelling creates a captivating, character-driven novel that is hard to put down. -IndieReader Review Banner, who has worked with trauma-centered youth organizations, offers nuanced insight into the tumultuous lives of lost children. He conveys it beautifully . . . both YA and literary fiction fans will savor Banner's colorful characters and elegant, dreamy writing style. Festive settings in international locales cleverly provide foils for the children's isolation. Magical powers, hallucinogenic visions, and a dash of romance pepper the deeply philosophical narrative. The mysterious ending suggests preparation for a sequel, a welcome notion because the Rahirrem's adventures have only just begun. As these "chosen" children grow, grapple with their pasts, and nurture one another, their experiences are sure to uplift the reader. Takeaway: This lyrical fantasy delves into childhood trauma, resilience, and solidarity for fans of both YA and literary fiction. Great for fans of: Neal Shusterman's Skinjacker Trilogy, Andrew Clements's Things Not Seen. -BookLife Review, Publishers Weekly
