Book description
Thirteen-year-old Emily Houchens doesn't have many friends. She
spends her time alone in the woods near her house - her safe place,
until she finds the body of a young woman.
Susanna Mitchell is searching for her sister, Ronnie, who vanished
after leaving a late-night bar. The more she discovers about
Ronnie's life, the more she realises that her sister began to
disappear long before she went missing.
THE NEXT TIME YOU SEE ME is a brilliantly nuanced, psychologically
astute debut that explores the fault-lines of a small community -
their hidden desires and their other, secret selves.
