Lexile: HL750L
Genre: Thriller
Growing up on her own, she's been raising her sister Mattie in an isolated small town, trying her best to provide a normal life and keep their heads above water. But when Mattie is found dead, Sadie's entire world crumbles. After a somewhat botched police investigation, Sadie is determined to bring her sister's killer to justice and hits the road following a few meager clues to find him.When West McCray--a radio personality working on a segment about small, forgotten towns in America--overhears Sadie's story at a local gas station, he becomes obsessed with finding the missing girl. He starts a podcast as he tracks Sadie's journey, trying to figure out what happened, hoping to find her before it's too late.
I choose this book because it was one of the few young adult novels available from the public library in an online format. I enjoyed the plot. The author made me care about Sadie and Mattie. Although the subject matter maybe too mature for some middle school students, I would recommend this book for 11th graders to adults.
