Sudden moves

Katie Brashers mentioned to her friends that she was off to Orlando for spring break, and nobody gave it a second thought. Weeks later, though, she has vanished from school, and the staff insist her family relocated to Florida. Sixteen-year-old Michelle Martin, one of Katie's classmates and closest friends, is not convinced. Katie left without saying goodbye to her devoted boyfriend, Brad, and she still holds a family book that Michelle lent her, a book she had promised to bring back.

Michelle recruits her best friend, Tami, and Brad to look into the disappearance. Their efforts are far from simple. Michelle must stay one step ahead of her pushy, inquisitive mother, and the three of them creep through the neighborhood while trying not to get caught trespassing. They question neighbors and peek inside the Brashers' house, yet all they gather is circumstantial evidence. Just as Michelle is ready to abandon the search, a routine walk with her dog turns up a solid clue. It brings her nearer to the truth, but it also pulls her into risky situations she cannot fully control. One wrong move could leave Michelle as untraceable as Katie.
