CRYER'S CROSS By: Lisa McMann, Young Adult

CRYER'S CROSS By: Lisa McMann
When Tiffany Quinn disappears without a trace, the residents of Cryer's cross, Montana are distraught. Kendall Fletcher didn't know her all that well, but Tiffany's empty seat in the back of their one room school house is wreaking havoc on her OCD-addled brain. And when another student disappears, someone very close to Kendall, it becomes almost impossible for her not to obsess about the missing kids. Then Kendall begins to hear the voices of Tiffany and Nico (the other missing students), calling for help, and she fears that she may be losing her mind. But whether Kendall likes it or not, her OCD is forcing her to listen to the voices of the missing and act on her suspicions. Kendall is about to find out that something is amiss in Cryer's cross and that some of its residents will do anything to keep their secrets buried. Ages 14 and up. Simon Pulse $16.99 Reviewed by Maggie age 16
