Review
"You: 'Super gritty- I like her style.' The Times The Girl Who Knew: 'A gripping page turner written in clear, exciting prose.' Books for Keeps The Nowhere Boy: 'The way she integrates the fantasy element of her story with a moving, realistic tale about fostering is very skilful.' T. E. S. Breaking The Rules: 'Glover handles serious social issues with a humorous touch, writes lively dialogue and has a sympathetic view of youthful idealism.' Books for Keeps"
Product Description
Debra has just passed her GCSEs in grand style, and goes out to celebrate with her mates. But someone is so jealous of her perfect family that they spike her drink, and abduct her from the party 'just to show them'. In the race to find her, and her abductor, the police find plenty of suspects. There's her would-be boyfriend, and her sister's ex.: she has had a row with both of them. And as her father is the Deputy Head at school, and her mother is the editor of the local newspaper, there are many other people with grudges against the family. The local community starts to fall apart as fear and distrust taint every relationship. When at last she is returned to her family, she is suffering from such bad shock that she cannot identify her abductor, and her well-wishers realise that they must find and expose the person before any of them can begin to recover from the trauma. Sandra Glover has written another gripping story of mystery and suspense that will keep her readers guessing until the very last page. She can write with enormous conviction and power about teenage life, weaving a story with such subtle shifts and sudden turnings that it is impossible to second guess.
