The Night My Sister Went Missing
by Carol Plum-Ucci
**** stars
Imagine your parents going out of town and you have the freedom to go to an abandoned part of an island. To party on a dune with some of your friends not worrying about responsibility until something bad could come of it. This is a book of a brother, Kurt (17) and his younger sister, Casey (15). They both go to a party that involves the influence of alcohol and other substances. This leads to someone bringing what is thought to be a toy gun. The friends pass it around admiring how realistic it looks, but the gun goes off and Casey ends of missing into the water. She cannot be found by anyone. Her brother, the police, no one can find her. This story has to do with conforming to a group. The effects of a teen that was mistreated and abused by a family member that took a toll on her life. Who is to blame of Casey’s disappearance? Why is everyone pointing fingers at a girl named Stacy? Did Casey disappear into the water from the impact of the shot or did she dive in? Who is the one found dead?
Personally the book was very interesting because of the mystery. It gives you the suspense of what’s going to come next. It’ll also leave you wondering.
This was an excellent read, if you enjoy discovering mysteries. This particular storyline is great for a teenager because you can put yourself into the shoes of the two character’s, and imagine what you would do if this happened to you. This novel was also a little confusing because of all the characters involved in the storyline, but all together it made me focus on the book even more.
This book was written by Carol Plum-Ucci. An author who has written many thrillers, mysteries, and suspense stories such as Fire with Fall, Streams of Babel, The Body of Christopher Creed.

This book looks very interesting. The fact that you have a mystery that you are trying to figure out during this book seems like it would keep the reader interest until the find out what happens in the end. I would love to read this book some time soon.
I'm torn. I loved The Body of Christopher Creed and What Happened to Lani Garver, but the way she ended them was absolutely infuriating. Nevertheless, I'm probably going to put this one my list.

It's so funny reading 24 positive comments about this book. I did not like it at all. My review is further back. In my opinion, this book was scattered, it is hard to follow, and the emotions aren't realistic. Just my opinion, maybe a good one for book club?
It sounds like really good read, the plot sounds like it could just rope you into the story. I think I'm check this one out
