Before She Was Found by Heather GudenkaufMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I chose this particular book because it was written using text message exchanges and journal entries. Translation: A quick read. As it turns out, I was pleased by this sinister little page-turner. In a small rural town in Iowa, 12-year-olds Cora, Violet, and Jordyn are working together on an urban legend school project. The legend selected is that of John Wither, a local who was accused of burning down his family’s home and simply vanishing afterwards. During the process of diligently searching for legit information for the project, Cora is informed of a website where users open up discussion forums regarding dark topics. She soon becomes entangled with another user who claims to be the infamous John Wither. Within hours of embarking on a secretive midnight outing to an old rail yard, one girl would be discovered stabbed and beaten near the tracks. The remaining two girls and a well-liked teacher in their community would be questioned and looked upon as potential suspects of the crime.
