A school trip with a class of six-year-olds to a farm should be a fun time for all.
Emma is a teacher on the trip but she is also the mother of one of the children. When she last saw her daughter, Claire, she was having fun with her friends, but when it was time to go home Emma could not find Claire, she had vanished, where was she?
This set my anxiety through the roof, I think it is every parent’s worst nightmare that their child disappears on a school trip. I was hooked because I was hoping and praying that Claire would be found safe and well, and I wanted to know who would do such an awful thing.
Miranda Smith certainly knows how to pull you into her books; it was emotional for me being a parent to a child almost the same age as Claire. I was on a book hangover for days afterwards.
