A cross-country search begins with a disappearance

Cody’s plans change after a knee injury ends his college hopes, leading him to leave high school and take a job in his Montana town. When his former girlfriend vanishes from a Vermont boarding school, the mystery draws him across the country to take part in the search. The contrast between Cody’s disrupted future and the urgent effort to find someone from his past gives the premise both personal stakes and a clear investigative thread. Set in two widely separated parts of the United States, the story connects a small-town life in Montana with the boarding-school setting in Vermont.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teen readers interested in young adult mysteries and detective stories.
  • Readers who enjoy search narratives involving travel across the United States.
  • Readers drawn to stories about disrupted plans and former relationships.
