#newbeginning Landon is quiet. He loves basketball and soccer, but is too shy to spend time with his teammates; he much prefers to curl up in a tiny place with a big book - the bigger the better. Books keep him from dwelling on his mother's disappearance 15 years ago, that day when Mom went to the store and never came back, leaving Landon alone... except for his father, a cop who Landon blames for his problems... and who he loves to torture by getting into trouble.
