I read this as a child and again now, I loved the the concept of this story! Would make a great film too!

Lovely book

Poignant story about the effect missing people have on their loved ones or even those who knew them. Raised a lot of startling facts about the statistics of missing people and told it in a way that was quite moving. However half way through I thought it got a bit fanciful and for me I lost interest. Only my second Cecilia adherne book bit won’t be deterred. Oh and the silly music between chapters got on my nerves. Loved the narrators though

Interesting ideas but didn’t love it
