One spring morning, a bus full of children and their teachers from a Cotswolds primary school head off on a much-anticipated day trip. But as night falls and the well-heeled parents – one or two of them famous, as well as wealthy – wait at the school to collect their weary offspring, it soon becomes clear that something has gone very wrong. The children and their teachers simply do not come back. What’s happened doesn’t seem possible. How can an entire class of children simply vanish?
I have to say I like this cover rather than the blue cover that I have seen floating around. I feel this one with the school bus really makes you want to read the book. I can't imagine the feeling of a parent who has children and what they feel when their child goes missing. 
Just a normal day at school. The students get to go on a field trip and what could be more fun than that? As our story gets moving we learn that 10 children and 4 adults go missing. Where in the heck did they go and how does a bus go missing as well? We learn that secrets are never meant to be kept if more than one person knows about them. There are a lot of different POVs and you just need to make sure you are following along so you don't miss anything. I liked not knowing who was behind it until closer to the end as then you start wondering where I missed the clue that could have given it all away? 

I did find the way that police handled things seemed a bit weird and not at all like I would have imagined, but if you can overlook that and just enjoy the story then it was a good story to tell.

Let me welcome Author Teri Polen for an interview. I read her book Sarah which I got from NetGalley and let me tell you it was actually a really good read. If you click on the link you can read my review. What truly pulled me to requesting the book was the cover. I know, I know, you should never just get a book by its cover but you know sometimes the cover catches your eye and you just have to read it. I was very happy and surprised to have the author contact me. I think in all my requesting from NetGalley I have had maybe two authors contact me. So I jumped on the chance to interview Mrs. Polen.

Have you ever wondered what Autism was? Do you or someone you know have Autism? Did you know that sometimes Autism is sometimes misdiagnosed? Think about how long a parent is thinking their child has a disorder and is being treated for that one disorder, only to be told months or years later that no your child has Autism. Do you know that a majority of children that have Autism get picked on because they are so called "different" they look normal just like a normal person would but yet they act different. The children and I am sure adults too that have Autism are being bullied at times because people do not quite understand Autism. If you would like more information on Autism, what it is, the symptoms and other useful information please go to this website: http://www.autism-society.org/ While you are there, feel free to look around, and pass that website around on your blog, on twitter, anywhere that will bring more people to the site and help others truly understand Autis...
