  Trevor and Will free other freaks.

Publisher’s description

As the wheat fields surrounding Gristlewood Valley become consumed by fire, two young brothers-Trevor Owen and his "freak" brother, Will-plan their escape from the small and potentially deadly town. After the violent, not-quite-accidental death of their father, the brothers know they have very little time to find their way to the relative safety and freedom of the outside world. But before they turn their backs on Gristlewood for good, Trevor and Will have one more responsibility to face-finding and freeing the other misunderstood "freak" children before they are murdered at the hands of their own parents. The fire rages, the fields burn, but for the first time in his short, tortured life, Will Owen feels a glimmer of hope in his heart.
