Title: Silent Sister

Author: Megan Davidhizar

Reviewer: Rhonda Bruce

Audience: Secondary Students

Mom pales. "What are you suggesting?" Dad's confusion surrenders to horrible understanding and realisation. He stumbles back against the wall. Detective Howard ignores them and focuses on me. I know exactly what he's thinking. This man believes I killed my own sister. And I can't remember enough to prove him wrong. (P 179) 

Two sisters go missing on their school's senior trip, but only one comes back. Grace cannot remember what happened and where is her sister, Maddy? When Grace tries to remember, she only gets blanks. And why did the police find spots of Maddy's blood on her clothes? Without her memories, Grace tries to piece together what happened using her classmates' stories and entries from the notebooks that they kept on the trip. Grace is desperate to find Maddy and to prove her own innocence before the gossip destroys her family.
