I haven’t been on here in 3 years you could have just messaged me.Thanks
The book you're describing sounds like "The Only Ones" by Aaron Starmer. This young adult science fiction novel revolves around a boy named Martin Maple, whose father disappears during a game of catch.During this catch, Martin's father mysteriously vanishes and later returns, significantly older, with a new family, refusing to explain his absence or what happened during his disappearance. This event shatters Martin's life and sets him on a journey to uncover the truth behind his father's disappearance and the strange occurrences in their town.
"The Only Ones" was published in 2011, falling within the timeframe you mentioned
I read an example from the book of “The Only Ones” & seems like the father goes on a trip & plans to return but everyone disappears not just the father & then returns older with new family.Tiana
The part of: “boy named Martin Maple, whose father disappears during a game of catch.
During this catch, Martin's father mysteriously vanishes and later returns, significantly older, with a new family, refusing to explain his absence or what happened during his disappearance. This event shatters Martin's life and sets him on a journey to uncover the truth behind his father's disappearance and the strange occurrences in their town.”
At what part does this happen on the book?

We don't message people. If you've checked "Notify me when people reply" you should get email notifications from GR but they don't always work. So you are responsible for checking on your threads periodically to see if people have commented.
Well I forgot I even did. Well this response is more than you should have. Since if you checked I already took care of it weeks ago.If to explain that answer fine! But it invades & ruins this current thread then & now.
But will try to remember.
What remember of the book (could be summery) its either opens or close in the beginning a boy & his father are playing catch (baseball? Got on roof?) when his father goes for the catch he disappears right before the boy & just reappears coming back older down the driveway with a new family & when he’s asked he says don't want to talk about it.
Came out before 2020 it could be even older book (40s-00s) then I think.
If sounds familiar please any help Thank You
