The Night My Sister Went Missing

Whenever I have a student looking for a mystery book, my first recommendation is The body of Christopher Creed by Carol Plum Ucci.  This is a really popular read in my library.  The kids come back looking for more by the same author.  And now I have another good mystery to recommend.  Plum Ucci's latest is a real page turner again focusing on a missing teenager and the secrets the come out.

Plum-Ucci, Carol. 

THE NIGHT MY SISTER WENT MISSING

A shot shatters the familiar sounds of the teen party.  A splash?  Not really.  A scream?  Or was it laughter?  There are so many questions but one thing is certain -- Casey is missing.  And her brother Kurt is desparate to find her.  But the night is pitch black and the police want all the kids to come to the station for statements.  Kurt and his friend are ushered into a small room and left there while the police questione the other teens.  But what the police have forgotten is that this new room looks into the interrogation room.  So while the police parade the other kids into the room for questioning, Kurt and Drew are able to hear what is being said.  And what they hear is not always pretty.  It turns out that there are a lot of secrets on the island of Mystic.
