'A new Cat Clarke novel is always something to celebrate' JUNO DAWSON
She was lost
When six-year-old Laurel vanished, the only witness was her younger sister, Faith. Her childhood was dominated by Laurel's disappearance, from her parents' broken marriage and the constant media attention to dealing with so-called friends who only ever wanted to talk about her sister.
Now she is found
Thirteen years later, a young woman is found, disorientated and clutching the teddy bear Laurel was last seen with. Faith always dreamed of getting her sister back, and now she is home. But something doesn't add up.
A psychological YA thriller for fans of Holly Jackson, Laura Nowlin and Kathleen Glasgow.
Cat Clarke is the author of Entangled, Undone, A Kiss in the Dark, Torn, The Lost and the Found and Girlhood. She is also the co-author with V. E. Schwab of the Sunday Times bestselling adult novel The Ending Writes Itself, under the pseudonym Evelyn Clarke.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Clarke (Undone) explores how a family fractures when a child goes missing, as well as the emotional roller-coaster they undergo when that child returns home. Faith Logan was three years old when her older sister, Laurel, was abducted by a stranger. For the next 13 years, Faith cobbled together a mostly normal existence, though constantly under the shadow of her missing sister. When Laurel miraculously reappears, Faith's carefully constructed life slowly begins to fall apart as she grapples with mixed emotions concerning Laurel's return. Blending coming-of-age elements with psychological suspense, Clarke carefully weaves a story in which the unnerving truth is slowly unveiled. As with the best thrillers, the truth is far from a straight line, and what readers believe changes with every turn of the page. In this fast-paced and darkly entertaining novel, Clarke's true success lies is in crafting a realistic and haunting story of two young women who redefine what it means to be sisters. Ages 14 up.
