When cousins Ellen and Harlan are forced on a family camping trip in the middle of a huge falling-out, tensions boil over. Harlan storms off alone into the woods, and what begins as welcome peace and quiet for Ellen quickly spirals into real fear when he doesn't return. A short, sharp, pulse-racing read perfect for reluctant and enthusiastic readers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003eCousins Ellen and Harlan have never got on, and being forced into close quarters on a family camping trip is the last thing either of them wants — especially mid-argument. So when Harlan storms off into the woods to cool off, Ellen is almost relieved. But as the hours tick by and he doesn't come back, relief curdles into worry, then panic. Battling failing light, treacherous clifftop paths, and her own guilt over their fight, Ellen sets out to find him before it's too late, uncovering just how much danger her cousin may really be in. Written specifically for World Book Day, Boy, Missing delivers all the tension and heart-in-mouth pacing that Sophie McKenzie's novels are famous for, packed into a compact, fast-paced format that's ideal for a single sitting or a first taste of her thrillers. It's a story about family, guilt, and the terrifying speed with which an ordinary day can turn into a nightmare, told with McKenzie's trademark short chapters and relentless forward momentum. Fans of her bestselling Girl, Missing will recognise the same instinct for cliffhangers and misdirection, while newcomers will find an accessible, gripping introduction to one of the UK's most popular YA thriller writers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by Sophie McKenzie, the award-winning \"Queen of teen thrillers\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOfficial World Book Day 2022 title — collectible and affordably priced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort, fast-paced format ideal for reluctant readers and thriller fans alike\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGripping clifftop setting with real edge-of-the-seat tension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect gift or stocking-filler for young adult and teen readers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new paperback copy, ready to read straight away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003eSophie McKenzie is a British author of award-winning books for children and young adults, celebrated as one of the UK's leading writers of teen thrillers.
