For all the missing children, and for all the children who aren't believed, this story sings to the vulnerability and easy dismissal of children and their experiences that the adults just fail.

This book was so good I finished it in a day! I did get a bit tired of

Spoiler

Claudia’s constant lack of self esteem with her inability to read. She seemed reasonable enough so I wanted to constantly jump into the book and tell her it’s okay to ask for help despite what a few bullies say! I know what it’s like to be that age, but it got tiresome chapter after chapter. Additionally, it was a bit frustrating when she didn’t speak up about her friend missing throughout the story because she had no confidence in herself.

Overall, this book has a gripping plot and makes you forgive the flawed, sometimes annoying characters. It’s truly a wonderful story of friendship that becomes sisterhood.
