She glanced around once more, and then she studied the ground before her. Who would have tied this out here in the middle of nowhere? Elizabeth thought. There were no houses in sight, only stands of wintry fir and alder and, far to the east, high mountains beneath a graying sky. She turned to look at the snow-covered valley in which she’d paused. Her breath came in puffy clouds, and the sweat on her brow chilled as she considered that she’d never before come quite this far on the trail when she’d gone out skiing. ![]() She tugged at it with her gloved hand the knot was strong. A red kerchief-the only burst of color in the otherwise vast whiteness through which the trail wound-was fixed to the limb of a tree.Įlizabeth came to a stop and examined the cloth, which was frayed and appeared to have been on the branch for some time. Now, however, as she eased into a slowing glide on her cross-country skis, her attention was caught. She’d been about to return to Winterhouse, not only because Norbridge, her grandfather, had asked her to be gone no longer than two hours, but because the afternoon sky was darkening with clouds and she hadn’t yet even touched her weekend homework. ![]() On a frozen Saturday in mid-March, Elizabeth Somers was skiing alone when she noticed a crimson cloth tied to an alder branch on the trail ahead.

However, if you come for a family drama with a mystery element, you'll probably find something to like here. If you've come looking for a mystery novel, you'll be disappointed. ![]() Perhaps the book's problem is the way it's been spun. What works here is what Giff has always been good at: showing how some kids quietly internalize their struggles. Taut and thrilling is not what Giff is best at - this was one yawn of a slow mystery story, with a kinda-lame denouement (it relies on a secret from Grandpa Mack's past that seemed to come out of nowhere). See? Doesn't that sound like the perfect taut kid-thriller? But it was disappointing, sadly. Could Sam's life be a lie? How can he research the truth without being able to read? ![]() ![]() Sam has a learning disability which prevents him from reading, so he can only recognize one word: "Missing." But he has no trouble identifying the child in the accompanying picture - it's of himself at age three. Or has he? On the eve of his eleventh birthday, Sam sneaks into the attic in search of presents and stumbles across an old newspaper clipping. Sam has always lived with his loving, Grandpa Mack.
