John Horner Jacobs - Twelve Fingered Boy Trilogy
This is one of my very favourite YA novels of the last couple of years from a versatile author who effortlessly moves around unique genres and from YA to adult. I first came across him after loving his adult horror debut “Southern Gods” and followed that with an entertaining zombie novel “This Dark Earth” and his fantasy series “The Incorruptibles” which moved more into fantasy and had a strong whiff of YA. I reckon this author could turn his hand to just about anything and this dark coming of age tale set in a juvie prison about a boy with special powers is hard to beat. Jacobs isn’t so well known in the UK, but such a great talent cannot go unnoticed forever. You heard about him first on the GNoH. Remember that and try and of his work, adult or YA.
