After all that time, the people left behind moved on, or tried to.Until today. Today five of those kids return. Theyre sixteen, and they are . . . fine. Scarlett comes home and finds a mom she barely recognizes, and doesn't really recognize the person she's supposed to be, either. But she thinks she remembers Lucas. Lucas remembers Scarlett, too, except theyre entirely unable to recall where theyve been or what happened to them. Neither of them remember the sixth victim, Max--the only one who hasnt come back. Which leaves Max's sister, Avery, wanting answers. She wants to find her brother--dead or alive--and isnt buying this whole memory-loss story. But as details of the disappearance begin to unfold, no one is prepared for the truth.This unforgettable novel--with its rich characters, high stakes, and plot twists--will leave readers breathless.
