Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant, Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara isn‘t just any thirteen-year-old: she‘s the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region‘s residents. And this isn‘t the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbara‘s older brother similarly vanished fourteen years ago
Target run today was successful. ❤️
pickI am personally offended by everyone who didn‘t put this book in S tier for the year. It was very good, no notes. The mood of the story was very “getting lost in the woods” which was the goal I believe.
One bookmark to note the day‘s progress and one bookmark to note yesterday‘s progress 💁🏽♀️
pickLiz Moore hasn‘t disappointed me yet.
A thirteen year old girl disappears from a summer camp, the camp owned by her own wealthy family. Her brother disappeared many years earlier and was never found.
I suspected several different people throughout the book, and was satisfied at the end.
This was my #doublespin for December @TheAromaofBooks 🙂📚♥️
So, three. Out of 100. Yeesh #NYTNotable
pickI liked this quite a bit, though not sure it was as great as all the hype led me to believe. But I did find myself anxious to return to it every time I set it aside, so there‘s that.
pickWhat a page turner! Really heartbreaking, but redemptive in the end. Well described characters
pickThis book dragged on and didn‘t live up to the hype. The rich acted as if they were superior to everyone else and their morals were terribly flawed. There were a couple of red herrings, and while the truth behind one missing child was heartbreaking, the other made sense. Not sure if this was a good snapshot of the 70s era. But honestly, it didn‘t need to be nearly 500 pages long. Book #103 in 2024
