Relation To Books Girl, Missing (Girl, Missing #1)
This was a quick and simple read. Having been written over 10 years ago I didn't have overly high hopes, which helped as the way the main character spoke seemed very childish and immature. While researching for a school project, Lauren comes across a website for missing children. Discovering a girl that looks a lot like her; a girl taken from her parents over 12 years ago, Lauren makes it her mission to find out what happened to her, and who she really is. A lot of what happens is overly convenient. How she manages to catch a flight to the USA, find the address of the orphanage where her adoption took place and then also the address of her possible family, I definitely had to suspend my disbelief in order to just enjoy and go with it. If you take it purely at face value, this was an enjoyable and action filled novel. Definitely aimed at the younger end of the YA community, but still entertaining enough.Rating Of Books Girl, Missing (Girl, Missing #1)

I propose you should read "girl missing" by Sophie McKenzie, because it is worth reading. I say this because I think it is a good book. It only took me a day to read because I couldn't put the book down-it was too interesting and I didnt want to leave where I was.In "girl missing", there are many emotional parts, but also there are some funny points.The book is about a teenage girl called Lauren (also known as Martha),trying to find out about her past. Thoughb this may sound simple,it has a vastI CAN'T EXPLAIN how much I love this trilogy! They're action packed and the story begins as soon as you open the book. I will admit that I read it a while ago so can't remember a lot but I enjoyed the trilogy thoroughly!! Definitely read.
I first read this book a year ago when I was 37. I suppose I was drawn in my the dramatic cover art. Im which case I am a perfect example of why you should never judge a book by its cover. This novel introduced me to new levels of literary ignorance, it was physical painful to turn each page with the looming thought that the next two would bring me further into a plot that worsens with each syllable. Last night after reading it for about 10 minutes (an indescribable struggle) I found myself
Who Am I? It's a loaded question that most of us have had to ask ourselves at some point and usually struggle with an answer. But it's a question that runs much deeper for Lauren Matthews, who was adopted when she was 3 years old. She has no idea that a simple piece of homework will impact her for the rest of her life. Tired of never getting an answer from her parents about her biological family, she searches online and comes across a Missing Persons website.... where she finds a little girl who
*3.5At the start,I didn't really find the book realistic,with the whole,running away to some other place with your best friend to find out about your past,and having no plan at all.I don't really know what to say,except that I liked the storyline,but felt that it could have been expressed better.I felt like the protagonist was too self absorbed,to think about anything else,and I thought she would understand this later in the book,but she never really got around doing anything about it.The ending
I thought that the book had a really fascinating storyline. I especially loved the relationship between Lauren and Madison. Even though it was good there were still some negatives. I felt as if it was really rushed throughout the book. Maybe if the author hadn't packed it so full there would have been a lot more chilling time. I also didn't feel like the author went into too much depth.I will continue the series and see how it goes.
This is one of those books that's a quick - straightforward read. I would be lying if I said it got boring becuase it didn't. It was a quick read with a decent plot, but I have to say that it was pretty predictable. Didn't wow me I suppose; didn't do anything for me actually. More of a book I'd recommend you pick up from the Library.
