Vanishing Girls/Lauren Oliver/357 pgs.

Sisters Nick and Dara were inseparable before the accident. The accident leaves Dara's face scarred, and her relationship with older sister, Nick, estranged. In addition, the girls' parents are recently divorced--so there are issues aplenty! Told in chapters before and after the accident, Dara and Nick tell their stories in such a way to keep the reader in suspense. The story peaks when Dara goes missing--shortly after a local nine year old girl had been reported missing. It's a very compelling story, and one that I think young adults would highly enjoy.
