The Last Place on Earth

Read The Last Place on Earth Storyline:

Daisy and Henry are best friends, and they know all each other's secrets. Or, so Daisy thinks, until she wakes up one morning to find that Henry and his family have disappeared without a trace. Daisy suspects Henry's disappearance is connected to their seriously awkward meeting the night before, but then she finds a note from Henry, containing just the words "SAVE ME." Deeply worried, Daisy convinces her unemployed brother to take her on a rescue mission into the California mountains. As they begin to home in on Henry's exact location, they also start to find some disturbing clues... clues that call into question everything Daisy believes she knows about her friend. Why is he so hard to find? What kind of trouble is he in, exactly? And most importantly, who is actually saving who?**From School Library JournalGr 6 Up—This mystery starts with lots of promise. Daisy's best friend and potential love interest, Henry, mysteriously disappears. After following the clues left in her suburban neighborhood, she and her brother trek to his last-known whereabouts deep in the California Redwoods. Here, Daisy finds herself in over her head and has to rely on her wit and courage to survive. Unfortunately, the writing in this book is not convincing. When Daisy is in danger, there is no fear in her voice. When she is panicked, there is no anxiety. The protagonist maintains a flat tone, full of sarcasm and benign pop culture references. Despite this, the mystery is full of twists and turns with teenage jolts of humor and angst that will attract reluctant readers, especially fans of Caroline B. Cooney and Joan Lowery Nixon.
