Only Child by Rhiannon Navin Book Summary

“Only Child triumphs. Zach, at only 6 years old, understands more about the human heart than the broken adults around him. His hope and optimism as he sets out to execute his plan will have every reader cheering him on, and believing in happy endings even in the face of such tragedy. . . . Navin manages to make Zach’s voice heartbreakingly believable.”—Ann Hood, The Washington Post

“Perfect for fans of Room… a heartbreaking but important novel.” —Real Simple 
 
Readers of Jodi Picoult and Liane Moriarty will also like this tenderhearted debut about healing and family, narrated by an unforgettable six-year-old boy who reminds us that sometimes the littlest bodies hold the biggest hearts and the quietest voices speak the loudest.
 
Squeezed into a coat closet with his classmates and teacher, first grader Zach Taylor can hear gunshots ringing through the halls of his school. A gunman has entered the building, taking nineteen lives and irrevocably changing the very fabric of this close-knit community. While Zach's mother pursues a quest for justice against the shooter's parents, holding them responsible for their son's actions, Zach retreats into his super-secret hideout and loses himself in a world of books and art. Armed with his newfound understanding, and with the optimism and stubbornness only a child could have, Zach sets out on a captivating journey towards healing and forgiveness, determined to help the adults in his life rediscover the universal truths of love and compassion needed to pull them through their darkest hours.

A chance to see grief through a child’s eyes.... This book was so captivating and the narrative from a 6 year old boy was spot on. His emotions that he experienced, the fear and despair he has from watching his parents, his Mother mostly, grapple with grief after learning their 10 year son was shot while he was in school. The trauma that 6 year old Zach went through while the shooting takes place and in its aftermath is described with such conviction and earnest confusion in an age appropriate narrative that you will find yourself flying through the pages to read more. The message of finding happiness that comes from this child and a book he’s finding solace in is remarkable and eloquently delivered to the adults who may have been more lost in their own grief than Zach was in his. What a beautiful tribute to our children who teach us more about life and living with grace than we ever could teach them. Bravo to the author!! Top 3 of favorites in the last year!!

Only Child. Too bad this absolutely wonderful novel had to come out right at the time of another heartbreaking school shooting 😢 Because it seems you pulled it from the February lineup of novels where it belongs-I get that however this little Zach gets grief -this is a helpful helpful book -This author handles the mess after a horrific loss in a loving way because she uses a little child and his concrete ,orderly way of seeing things-even at their and his worst to give the spiritual meaning back to life and dear and a sense of rightness and hope for some good to be in our lives after the death of someone we loved

Only child. This is a wonderful book. I have read it three times now cover to cover, and every time i can’t seem to put it down. As a mother myself, I can imagine the pain and grief Melissa was facing. I also absolutely love that the narrator is a small child, it really set this book above all others.

Fabulous. This wonderful novel came out at the worst possible time, right around the shooting in Florida. But it’s more about family dynamics than anything else. A story of hope told by a six year old, was one of my favorite novels in the last few years.

Only Child. Devastatingly timely. Ugly-faced cried through the whole thing.

I can’t remember. *Book Club* I honestly forgot most of this book. School shooting as told by a young child. Was consistently pulled out of the believable narrative of a young boy due to the language used by the writer that was clearly above and beyond the age of the narrator themselves. Wished the narration was different to keep me fully in that moment with that character. No discussion from book club.
