Funded by a full ride scholarship, Jeri McKane attends swanky Landmark Boarding School. On the end of the “have not’s” Jerri feels out of place among the “haves.” Overwhelmed by homesickness, Jeri soon becomes distracted with an unexpected mystery ready to be solved. Her roommate Rosa and several other classmates disappear into thin air while en-route back to Landmark via school bus. How is this possible when there is only one way in and out on the mountain? Jeri’s keen reporting and research skills are put to the test at this time of crisis. Especially since the adults in charge do not seem to be making any progress in their search and rescue attempts.
Jeri decides to conduct her own investigation, much to the chagrin of the authority figures in charge. Navigating the twists and turns and sorting the truths from the lies, Jeri makes a startling discovery. But can she make it in time?
Kristi Holl presents an action paced mystery with the power of one’s faith for an exhilarating read.
