Mini and Kate are as close as two sisters can be, even with over three years’ difference in their ages. But as Mini approaches her 13th birthday, she notices that Kate’s behaving differently. She knows something is wrong and Kate won’t talk about it. And Kate’s relationship with their parents has definitely deteriorated. But it isn’t until Kate goes missing that Mini finds out what the real problem is.
The subject of family problems is not an unusual one for kids books, but this one is handled well. An absorbing read.
