August 2024 Debut of the Month
On the face of it Grace and Maddy had it all. The Stoll girls. Two sisters with a closeness most of us would dream of. Educated in an exclusive private school. Until we begin scratching beneath the surface and page by page we are enlightened. We uncover secrets. We find the skeletons in the closet. And with every twist and turn we find truths but are in the dark until the final page.
Maddy's portfolio for the writing scholarship was submitted months ago. In secret. Her parents didn't know she wanted to attend Trinity University. She was hopeful it would change everything for her and remove her from her sister's shadow. Grace is popular, sporty, the volleyball superstar. For Maddy, writing is her thing. Her go-to. Through her poetry we gain insight, we understand her truths, we feel her insecurities. Sucker punch by sucker punch.
This trip was meant to be life-changing. Four nights at Shady Oaks Lodge. Off on an adventure, in a mountain lodge with thirty classmates. A chance to bond, build teamwork and make new discoveries about yourself. Although it didn't quite go to plan.
Grace was found at the edge of a road by a lake covered in her sister's blood. With total memory loss. Without Maddy. Without her sister. Her sister who had her whole life ahead of her. Prom. Graduation. Life.
The dual timeframe and multiple narrators keep it pacy, and fresh. Without her memories Grace has to piece together notebook entries and revelations from classmates to discover what happened on that fateful night. I was hooked, I picked it up one Saturday morning, and turned page after page, unable to put it down. A crackerjack of a read.
An unputdownable YA thriller with a twist that will electrify readers, Silent Sister is perfect for fans of Karen McManus, Holly Jackson, and Kathleen Glasgow.
Read the full description
Grace can't remember how her sister Maddy disappeared, and even the police think she's lying. But it's hard to look innocent with a missing girl's blood on your clothes…
One week earlier, Maddy - rejected for the college scholarship of her dreams, abandoned by her only friend on her birthday - was tired of living in Grace's shadow. She was ready to be someone new, which was exactly what was promised by an exclusive senior trip at their expensive private school.
But eighteen years' worth of awkwardness didn't evaporate just because Maddy was holed up in a mountain lodge with thirty classmates, playing games and learning so-called life lessons.
Now, without her memories of the trip, Grace must piece together notebook entries and classmates' revelations to discover how her sister disappeared. And unless Grace can find out what happened to Maddy, she'll never clear her conscience - or her name.
Unbelievably gripping, and filled with twists and turns, Silent Sister will have you guessing until the very last page.
Megan Davidhizar grew up moving around the American Midwest. She now spends her mornings wishing she liked coffee, her days learning from the students in her English classroom, and her evenings reading stories to her three children while her husband tries to convince them the movies are better.
