The Missing Girl

The Missing Girl by Norma Fox Mazer

Haunting, chilling, creepy, tense. This is how I describe this book.

Told in alternating voices. The story of five sisters from a poor family, each going about their own lives in differing ways, full of chatter, laughing, bickering typical of any family.

The oldest Beauty (ironically rather plain) is planning for the day she'll turn eighteen and be away from all this. Mim quiet and responsible holding a personal secret that she has yet to share with anyone. Stevie always temperamental, on the attack and demanding attention. Fancy is always doted on by her sisters as she is "special" and loves to tell the others of her special teacher and special class. And Autumn the tag along, lagging behind, wanting attention from the others.

Meanwhile a man secretly covets watching the girls, deciding which one he likes best, which one he'll take home and keep.

Definitely a page turner.
