Missing Abby:
  • This was a book my son pick to read for his middle school project. I purchased to help quiz him. Highly recommend for middle school age student ti read.

  • I originally read this book seven years ago. Saw it on Amazon and just had to have it! I am so happy to add it to my collection :)

  • This book is exiting and very thrilling. I could not put it down. If you are a mystery lover and have not read this book you arre missing out on something. Though sad it is totally amazing.

  • Abby is missing long before she disappears at the beginning of Missing Abby by Lee Weatherly. Narrated by Abby's former-best-friend, Emma, the plot examines how their friendship deteriorated in the past while looking at the events surrounding Abby's disappearance in the present.

    This novel, Weatherly's second, uses Abby's disappearance to tell Emma's story. The novel is told in chapters, one for each day after Abby is reported missing. As the story moves farther away from that day, the focus shifts from wondering what happened to Abby as readers begin to wonder what happened between the two girls. Because at thirteen, they are still girls--a fact that is not always obvious from the narration that seems to sound more like the voice of a seventeen-year-old.

    Through a strange coincidence, Emma is the last person to see Abby before she gets off a local bus and vanishes. When Emma has to report everything she remembers about that day to the police she also starts to remember their old friendship. Anger often flares up through the worry Emma shows for Abby. Weatherly handles these conflicting emotions well, her narration making it clear that Abby is missed even while Emma is still angry with her.

    Just why Emma is so angry at Abby is not clear until the last half of the story. Her reasons for ending the friendship are revealed in dribs and drabs that interrupt the regular narrative: "Freak. The word slithered into my mind, breaking the spell." Through these fragments readers can piece the girls' back-story together before Emma reveals the finer details.

    Weatherly maintains a level of suspense throughout the story as Emma and Abby's friends try to learn what happened to her. Emma's cryptic references to "Balden" and "Karen Stipp" also draw readers further into Emma and Abby's past. At the same time, the plot remains necessarily one-sided as Abby never gets the chance to tell her experiences.

    I really like the message of this story. How, interestingly, it is only after Abby goes missing that Emma is able to realize how precious Abby was as a friend and subsequently find herself again. The writing only falters at the end, where Weatherly seems desperate to neatly tie up the loose ends of a story that was never clear-cut or neat.

  • This book is amazing! The book simply blows me away with the thriling cliff hangers, the beautiful love story between two characters, the mystery behind Abby's dissapearance, and the comedy behind the embarrassing mistakes Emma makes. This book made me feel sorry for Emma but also despise her at the same time. This incredible book made me realize to treasure the most important things in life because you do not know what you have until it is gone. Everyone between the ages of 12-14 should read this book!

  • Missing Abby was my favorite book in junior high. Being a huge nerd that I am now, I have fallen into the world of tabletop roleplaying BECAUSE of this book. I couldn't remember the name of it until recently. Any girl in junior high and high school should give this a read!

  • I love mystery books, so when I read Missing Abby I was thrilled. This book covers all of the true problems of peer preasure and other teen issues. It's very suspenseful and it keeps your attention. I would definently consider this a MUST READ book!

  • this book blew me away. I was the character, suffered her torture, squirmed and tried to wriggle away. if you want to sob your heart out and feel fantastic afterwards read this book. the characters have stayed in my head and I'm not letting them leave! Great book.
