The Missing Girl


The Missing Girl by Norma Fox Mazer, is a dramatic novel about five sisters living with their fat, smoking mom and their out-of-work dad. All of the girls are diffrent, but in the end, when the youngest goes missing, they all come together.
Beauty, Mim, Stevie, Fancy, and Autumn are all prey to the man. He watches them each day, choosing who he loves the most. He doesn't like the oldest, Beauty because she's ugly. He doesn't like Mim, she's too thin. He doesn't like Fancy, because she has special needs. He is focusing on Stevie, the pretty haired girl, and Autumn, the little one. Meanwhile, Beauty is focused on getting a boyfriend, and leaving their small town. Mim turns out to be a lesbian, Stevie has anger issues, and her anger forces her parents to send her away to her aunt. They say it will cost less money. Fancy has no idea what is going on. Autumn finally gets kidnapped. (I'm not saying, Oh she finally gets kidnapped, but someone does get kidnapped) Then... You'll have to read it to find out!!
This book was pretty good. The only problem is that it was kinda slow in the beginning. Otherwise, it was awesome. The book was entertaining, and it had you on your toes. I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoyed The Lovely Bones. I chose this book today at Lift Bridge because I liked the plot, and cover. I'd rate it 5 stars
