Vanished by Kristi Holl

This was a cute youth book. I downloaded the book onto my kindle thinking it was a novel for older folks but it ended up being a book for youths of about the age of 12-14.

It was a cute who done it kind of book with a girl in 6th grade investigating what happened to her roommate at a boarding school.  The van vanishes with 6 girls and the driver and no one knows what happened to it. So the little girl takes it upon herself to send emails out, after the headmistress tells the girls not to do or say anything about it.  the little girl also tells her roommates parents their daughter is missing, she calls a news investigator, and all this thinking that she was helping by getting the word out to help find these kids. all the while being yelled at by the headmistress and sometimes the parents themselves. but happily in the end the little girl does find out for herself what happened to the van and it is her plan that rescues them,

For me, it was a bit far fetched. a 6th grader doing the investigating and ultimately finding and rescuing them. but for a 12-14 year old it would be a fun book to read with a girl their age as the hero.

i rate this book a 3 only because I am a 41 year old mom and it wasn't for me

I rate it a 5 for kids 12-14 years old
