Is this a child's novel?

Do you remember why the boy could only stay for a year and a day?

If he wasn't a real boy, was he a ghost? An alien? Something else?

[Beth]

I remember he was real and he may have died. or he went into the woods and they never found him. I read this between 1999 to 2002

[Beth]

I don't think he had a belly button. He nay not have been real.
