Get Your Copy Missing Written By Becky Citra Distributed In Hardbound

thought Missing was a fantastic story! I think it was worth reading, This book is about a young girl named Thea, Thea's dad gets a job working at the double R guest ranch, Thea finds out that a girl was killed at the ranch and her body was never found, While Thea's dad works on building the cabins Thea explores the grounds and trys to gain trust from a mysterios horse with a bad past.
While at the ranch Thea finds some friends too, This book may just be appealing to horse lovers at first, but I can truly tell you that it's not all about a girl and her horse.
It's actually partial mystery and partial a girl moves in to a new town type of book, I will admit that this book was not my top pick when I looked at the other books, but even when I started reading it, it wasn't what I expected at all.
All and all this book is just great and just a bit Miss leading, Read this as ayear old college student, no biggie, . . it was very mature for it's audience, in an amazing way, I really enjoyed it. I'd recommend it to any horse crazy child or child at heart, My granddaughter rated this book asstars, She'sand loves horses, and that is understandable, I put myself in her place and rated itstars, It was a bit young for my tastes, but I did enjoy it and got caught up in the mystery, I thought the ending was a bit abrupt, I would have liked it fleshed out a bit more,

After Thea's mother dies in a riding accident, she and her father leave everything behind and move from town to town and job to job.
There's no time for Thea to make new friends because she's not in the school long enough, Then Thea's dad gets a job on a guest farm and she becomes embroiled in theyear old mystery of a missing child, She begins to make friends, and dreads the day they pull up roots again,


Im simply not rating this because its a childrens book, But now Im nostalgic and I miss my first time reading Theas Mutter ist gestorben, und seit diesem einschneidenden Erlebnis ziehen ihr Vater und sie von Stadt zu Stadt immer auf der Suche nach Arbeit und auf der Flucht vor der Vergangenheit.
Thea möchte endlich sesshaft sein und Freunde finden, denn wer immer nur wenige Monate an einer Schule ist, kann sich nicht integrieren, Als ihrem Vater ein Job auf der LakeviewRanch angeboten wird, scheint endlich Ruhe in das Leben der kleinen Familie einzukehren, und das trotz der Pferde auf der Ranch.
Den Pferde sind ein Tabuthema seit dem Tod der Mutter, und dennoch fühlt sich Thea zu ihnen hingezogen, Doch kann die LakeviewRanch mit ihren Geheimnissen endlich helfen Thea und ihren Vater wieder zusammen zu bringen,

Die Protagonistin Thea hat mir von Anfang an gefallen, ihre offene und ehrliche Art, ihr Interesse an Tieren, Natur und den Menschen fand ich schön und sie wirkte dadurch auf mich aufrichtig und extrovertiert, und das obwohl sie immer zu von Ort zu Ort ziehen muss.
Mit Van hat sie auch endlich einen Freund gefunden, denn sie schätzt und der scheinbar auch wirklich süß und ehrlich ist, Beide machen sich auf die Suche nach dem vermissten Mädchen, und damit nach der Auflösung des Geheimnisses der LakeviewRanch,

Die Kombination aus geheimnisvoller, familienlastigen und pferdeverliebten Geschichte hat mir wirklich gefallen und hat die Atmsphäe beim Lesen total aufgelockert, Immer wieder wurden die Fäden der jeweiligen Teilgeschichten aufgenommen und weitererzählt, und letztendlich sogar zusammengeführt, was ich wirklich schön fand.
Besonders die Zusammenarbeit von Thea und Storm war eindringlich beschrieben, man konnte sich die Wildheit des Pferdes direkt vorstellen, Aber auch die Familiengeschichte, die bis heute Vans Familie belastet hatte viele Facetten und am Ende eine spannende Auflösung, die den Leser mitfiebern lässt.


Ich wurde beim Lesen mitgerissen und konnte mich jederzeit in Theas Situation hineinversetzen, Sie war für mich als Leser jederzeit in ihren Handlungen und Entscheidungen nachvollziehbar und vor allem hat mich ihre Geschichte berührt, Der Schreibstil und der Lesefluss waren angenehm und verständlich, Ich hätte mir am Ende sogar noch mehr Seiten gewünscht, um einfach noch mehr die Beziehungen im Buch ausbauen zu können.



Fazit:
"Nur dieser einer Sommer" konnte mich von Anfang an überzeugen, mit einer gelungen Kombination aus geheimnsivoller Familiengeschichte und spannender Pferdestory schafft es Becky Citra die Balance zu halten und den Leser jederzeit zu fesseln.
Am Ende hätte ich mir sogar noch mehr Seiten gewünscht, damit es nicht schon endet,

I really like how so much was going on in this book:the mystery, trying to make friends, and trying to train a horse that was previously untouchable.
This book was awesome!! It was really interesting because it had a little bit of a mystery to it, I also liked the characters, My favourite was Thea because she is a really nice girl, I thought she was nice because she tried to help a abused horse, This book was awesome and if you like horses you might like this book, I really enjoyed this book, I think that the students reading Silver Birch will really like it as well, It is very age appropriate but still has lots of depth and excitement which isn't always the case for the books written for students in the junior grades.
I will be passing this book along to lots of the students in the new year, Wonderful Canadian mystery set in the Cariboo region of British Columbia, This book is ideal for a tween, teen, or even an older reader, It's a lot better than many adult mysteries I've read this year!
It has everything a young reader will enjoy: a horse, a mystery, and a little romance.
Onlypages means it is a great summer holiday read, This honestly the best BEST MYSTERY BOOK I EVER READ!!! This was a quick and easy read, It had so much emotion to it, and even to the characters, My friend recommended "Missing", to be and I'm quite grateful that she did, I LOVE Thea and Van their perfect, I could feel how they feel, their emotions were amazing, Indeed.stars!!!! Missing is a very cute novel about a girl, Thea and her father who are always one the move, When they arrive at a ranch things start to change, Thea befriends an abused horse, makes friends at school and her father shows signs of wanting to settle down, While on the ranch Thea and her newfound friend Van discover a mystery regarding the disappearance of a young girl, and work together to find some answers.


I found this a very cute novel, Citra is able to write emotions into every scene, and there is a strong sense of unsettled characters throughout, I felt like I was searching with Thea for peace and stability in her life,

Great

for Gradeand, Missing is also nominated for a SilverBirch award, Perfect story. Wish I had written it, The setting was so beautifully described it made me want to visit the Canadian ranch, except I loved experiencing it exactly the way I did, asyearold Thea in its preopening days.
I savored every single sentence from beginning to end, never letting myself rush, and just enjoyed letting everything envelope me,

I loved Thea's close relationship with her father, despite the hollow place created by her mother's death which has its own twist I did not expect.
There was a heartbreaking and intriguing mystery of a missing child from thes, lovely ranch history, a beautiful but wild horse who needed some whispering, the new owner of the ranch who might as well have been a heavensent angel, his trio of dogs, and wonderful neighbors down the way.
A church youth group was also worked in seamlessly, despite my reaction to its introduction being very much like Thea's, What more could one ask for
The book Missing, by Becky Citra keeps the readers on the edge of their chair throughout the entire story.
Thea and her father are consistently moving, starting with one little Cariboo town then onto the next, attempting to abandon the agony of Thea's mother's passing.
They never remain long enough in one spot for Thea to make companions, however when her father gets work remodeling a visitor farm on Gumboot Lake, she sets out to trust that their meandering days are finished.
At the farm she warms up to Van, a nearby kid, and strives to fabricate the trust of a mishandled pony named Renegade, At the point when Thea uncovers the decadesold story of a fouryearold young lady who vanished from the farm and was gone forever, she asks Van to assist her with illuminating the secret, and when some upsetting realities become visible, she at long last begins to get closure with the misfortunes in her very own life.
Citra's composing is strong, and Thea is solid and engaging, however the story feels split, The secret takes up the greater part of the pages, yet the mystery appears to take up the majority of the feeling, and the different sides don't mix.
The authors style is quite unique to what Ive witnessed before, Different point of views are portrayed throughout the story that made it a little confusing to understand at first, After the story had got going, the story flowed a lot better, The characterization of the characters is very descriptive, You can tell that Citra spewing a lot of time evolving the characters personalitys and traits, I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good mystery, I personally decided to read it because it involves horses, so any horse lovers would enjoy it to! Its quite similar to the Series,The Private School Murders because it involves the same type of suspense and mystery throughout the story.
They both are page flippers and I found them interesting in their own ways, Overall, I thought the book was really good and would defiantly recommend to anyone looking for a suspenseful book,
