Book Description

17 April 2003 Point
A tale to make your blood run cold... It all started as stories-playground tales handed down for generations. Stories of plague graves, vanished children and hidden steps leading to a festering underworld. A world so real you could almost smell it... But when another child goes missing, Fraser wonders if there's some truth in the tales. The dank tunnels running under the city are real enough. Who knows what horrors their depths contain? only Billy. He knows about a decaying kingdom far more terrifying thananyone could imagine...

4.0 out of 5 stars Good to see this again 13 May 2007
Format:Paperback
I remember reading this back when it was issued in the Point Horror "Unleashed" series. It's a chilling story about missing children that builds up from some feelings of unease to reveal exactly why these children went missing and the horrifying plot they have in store. The horror is interwoven with the more poignant story of what it's like to lose a younger sibling to death and how families try and deal with this.

Very well-written.

This book had a great plot and gradually unfolded into a chiller, you won't be able to put it down. The plot unfolds into a world of tunnels, traps, vampire children and a mysterious child called Billy. Although the term vampire children may sound like a cliche of a horror book, it's not what it seems. The story of a fairly ordinary school newspaper, about to go out of business until it takes a turn for the better following the arrival of a new boy,might not sound captivating but I'm not going to reveal to much because it'll ruin the book for you. Have fun reading it because i'm sure if you're a horror fanatic or just like a scary tale you'll buy this book and love every minute of it!

The Vanished is 1 of the best books I have read it doesn't take you long to read because you just can't put it down! The story's main characters are Billy , Fraser , Cassie and Jake oh and you can't forget Amelia a little girl who lives on with her brood under the city . Amelia went missing about 100 years ago and ever since her brother Billy has been trying to please her by bringing her playmates and pets anyway it's a great story and you should definately read it !
