An interesting book, a women in her 20s that now lives in Baltimore, returns to Australia to help your sister fighting cancer. The return home brings back memories of her at around 10 years old when their friends and neighbor girls disappeared. Story gets a little confusing at times since is told from the 10 year old view point but easy to get the feeling that things are not right. Not right in the Van Apfel girls home and also with a new teacher at the school that is the middle girl's teacher. The 2 older girls were planning to run away and the 10 year old's older sister was going to help them. The 10 year old and the youngest neighbor girl were being kept in the dark. It comes out & the neighbor's father finds out too. They were not able to get everything together they wanted but still made a break for it--the youngest joined in. A big search went on & after a few days the youngest is found caught between 2 boulders--speculation is she turned around at night and fell trying to get back home. Other 2 never found or heard from. A good story in that you want to see what is next. Ending is open ended, but hope for the best with the 2 girls at least.
There are 7 WL for this book so will get it posted & mailed off at some point.
