Between the Lies

by Cathy MacPhail

Judith Tremayne is missing. She hasn't been online, nobody has heard from her. She simply appears to have vanished, until Abbie Knox, a school nobody, receives a message: "I want to come home". Suddenly everyone knows Abbie's name. The mean girls and the misfits alike are obsessed with Jude's disappearance. Abbie finds herself at the centre of a whirlwind of rumours, secrets and lies. Why would popular, fun Jude be messaging loner, loser Abbie? Why would Jude disappear? Can Abbie bring her home? This tense thriller is packed with MacPhail's trademark sharp dialogue and a series of sensational twists.
