[LM_NET] SEC: Book review The Missing Girl by Norma Fox Mazer

[Naomi Bates <nbates@NISDTX.ORG>]

Five sisters, all with unique personalities:  Beauty is the oldest, but she doesn’t 
live up to her name; Mim is the quiet, introspective sister that can calm the 
group; Stevie doesn’t want to live by the rules, she just wants to play the game 
her way; Fancy lives in her own world that revolves around her teacher and her 
favoriteclass in school; Autumn is the baby...

They all work and play together, but their lives are not as happy as they could be. 
 The girls’ mother works hard to make ends meet since their father was hurt in an 
accident, but the money isn’t coming in. 

What they don’t know is that someone*.a typical, everyday, ordinary person*. is 
watching them, deciding which one he would want to take.  But to him, it’s all a 
fantasy that cannot be acted upon.  And that’s harmless, isn’t it?  

The girls’ world goes on a collision course when their parents decide that one of 
them has to leave home and her sisters to live with an aunt, but only until things 
are better financially at home.   But what happens to the other sister is what 
causes their world to collapse.  

This is an excellent read and good companion book to Scott’s Living Dead Girl.
