When Grace wakes up in the hospital, she can’t remember anything about the last week - she stepped onto the bus to go on the senior retreat and then…nothing. Worse, however, her sister Maddy is missing! The clues to Maddy’s disappearance are locked within Grace’s mind, but she can’t access it. Flashback to Maddy - Maddy is not excited to go on the senior retreat. Ever since her BFF went without her in the fall, Maddy has been the third wheel in their relationship. Plus Grace is the golden girl who easily makes friends, while Maddy is the wallflower who can barely speak in public. As the week goes on, the situation doesn’t seem to get any better. What happened? Where is Maddy?
Davidhizar’s compelling read is proof that you can write a thriller for teens that will grab your attention and hold without drowning the characters in sex, blood, or swearing. I was riveted and shocked in the absolute best way by the end. I can’t wait to share this! The characters default white.
