What to expect

Matt is missing. Bonnie's brother left his classroom to use the bathroom—and disappeared. A police dog traces his scent to the curb, where he apparently got into a vehicle. But why would Matt go anywhere with a stranger? Overwhelmed with fear, Bonnie discovers that her dog is gone, too. Was Pookie used as a lure for Matt? Bonnie makes one big mistake in her attempt to find her brother. In a chilling climax on a Washington State ferry, Bonnie and Matt must outsmart their abductor or pay with their lives.

Critics Review

  • “Tough issues such as divorce, nightmares, domestic violence, safety, and
    awareness are well balanced and provide material for thoughtful
    discussion.”

    VOYA
  • “Has enough suspense to keep children interested, and it will also appeal to reluctant readers.”

    School Library Journal
  • “This quick read, which accurately reflects that
    most missing children are either abducted by relatives or run away,
    effectively builds suspense as the police make progress and Matt grows
    increasingly afraid of his gun-toting father.”

    Booklist
  • “Highly suspenseful… Kehret…always
    demonstrates a deft touch in maintaining suspense while keeping her
    narrative light enough for the age of her intended audience. It’s
    entertaining and enlightening for older children as well as some
    reluctant adolescent readers.”
