Hidden

Hidden
by Helen Frost

When Darra and Wren meet each other at summer camp each girl recognizes the other.   They have met before, but never face to face.  Six years ago they were brought together in a way that changed both of their lives forever when Darra's father stole a van, not knowing that Wren was hiding in back.   As Wren silently hid in the garage of the man who stole her mother's car, Darra realized the missing girl was in her family's garage.   Without ever seeing each other, the two girls formed a lifelong connection as Darra continued to bring food and supplies to the hidden Wren.   Now, six years later, the two girls are brought together unexpectedly at camp, bringing back years of difficult memories for both.


I had a hard time putting this book down!   The storyline and the two main characters were amazing.   I felt very connected to both girls.  What I liked best about this story was that it was told in two voices as the chapters alternated between Darra and Wren as the narrators, with each girl having her own distinct narration style.    This is a great choice for readers who enjoy realistic fiction stories about friendship and relationships.
