Overview
Moving and evocative, Disappearing Act is a YA memoir-in-verse following author Jiordan Castle's coming of age as her family reckons with the aftershocks of her father's imprisonment.
It was the summer before high school,
the beginning of everything.
But also an end.
Jiordanās family was never quite like everyone elseās, with her fatherās mood swings, her motherās attempts at normalcy, and her two older sisters with a different last name. But on the surface, they fit in.
Until the day the FBI came knocking on the door.
After that, her fatherās mood plunged to a dangerous new low. After that, there was an investigation into his business and a sentencing in court. Soon Jiordanās father would have to leave home, and her family would change forever.
Reckoning with the aftershocks of her fatherās incarceration, Jiordan had to navigate friends who couldn't quite understand what she was going through, along with the highs and lows of first love. Under it all was the question: If Jiordanās father was gone, why did she feel like the one who was disappearing?
Recounting her own experiences as a teenager, poet Jiordan Castle has created a searing and evocative young adult true-story-in-verse about the challenge to be free when a parent is behind bars.
