Hidden
By Helen Frost
Farrar Straus Giroux, 2011. 147 pgs. Young Adult

When she was a child, Wren was huddled in the back seat of her family's van when it was stolen; while the thief didn't know that Wren was in the back, his daughter, Darra, came to realize that she was there and wanted to help her escape. Wren managed to escape on her own, and years pass. However, as teenagers, the girls end up at the same summer camp and instantly know who the other is and must come to terms with the horrible event that connects them.

This verse novel is short but it packs a punch, with the two girls taking turns narrating and drawing readers into both sides of the story. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a good, thought-provoking novel.
