Disappeared by Francisco X. Stork


Sara and her brother Emiliano must make a run for the border. Sara fears for her life after discovering a dark truth connected to the disappearance of her best friend. Emiliano chooses to leave everything behind, including a new job offer that could change his life, in order to see his sister to safety. Disappeared is a great read for those that can withstand the slow-paced beginning of the book where Stork takes his time developing the characters and setting the plot. However once the pieces are in place, the book becomes a page turner as Emiliano and Sara must rely on each other to cross the deadly terrain and make it to the Mexican-American border. Students interested in underground crime syndicates and conspiracies will enjoy the overall plot and the plot twist reveals that this book delivers.--Claudio Leon
