The Bones Beneath My Skin

In the spring of 1995, Nate Cartwright has lost everything: his parents are dead, his older brother has disowned him, and he's been fired from his job. Looking for a new direction, he returns to his family's summer cabin in the mountains of Oregon.

The cabin should be empty. But it's not. Inside is a man named Alex—and an extraordinary little girl who calls herself Artemis Darth Vader. But there's far more to her than meets the eye. Soon, it becomes clear that Nate must make a choice: drown in the memories of his past, or fight for a future he never thought possible.

Because the girl is special. And forces are descending upon them who want nothing more than to control her.

The Bones Beneath My Skin by TJ Klune explores themes of loss, discovery, and the extraordinary hidden within the ordinary. Nate's journey is one of resilience and hope, challenging him to confront his past and embrace an uncertain future.
