How to Disappear Completely and Never Be Found by Sara Nickerson

5.0

I picked up this book as a throwback to elementary school to see if it would hold up 10+ years later, and I was surprised and delighted to find that it was just as good as, if not better, than before. You can tell that it's geared towards younger audiences and it's a fast read (2.5 hours) but an entertaining one. Even remembering some of the twists and reveals from before, the plot moves quickly and with enough suspense that it kept my attention to have me reading it cover to cover in one sitting.

Nickerson manages to convey the story of a 12 year old girl trying to figure out where she fits in in her family in a way that is both dark and lighthearted at the same time, dealing with topics like her mother's depression and the mystery of her deceased father. All in all, a book that holds up no matter how old you are when you read it.
