From School Library Journal Gr 9 Up—Different as night and day, sisters Nick and Dara are practically joined at the hip. Nick is perpetually the cool and calm older one who calls the shots. Dara is always tagging along, longing to be in the spotlight. That was before the accident that left Dara injured and Nick shaken to the core. Now, the siblings barely speak to each other; they live together but never cross paths. Nick gets a job at a local amusement park and begins to interact with people again, mostly with her longtime best friend, but also with her sister's ex-boyfriend, Parker. As the summer continues, a young local girl goes missing and Nick finds herself getting more involved with the ensuing drama than she ever expected. The situation comes to a boiling point at Dara's birthday dinner when she disappears too, and it's up to Nick to piece the story together and discover what has happened to her sister. Like in her "Delirium" series and Before I Fall (2010, both HarperCollins), Oliver's characterizations and background stories are well-developed and compulsively readable. The relationship between Nick and Dara drives the plot and is very realistic. The twist the author incorporates at the end is dramatic without being absurd and was completely unexpected. Recommend to teens looking for a well-written work with a juicy ending. They will not be disappointed.—Morgan Brickey, Marion County Public Library System, FL

Lockhart, author of We Were Liars)“Perfect for readers who devoured We Were Liars, it’s the sort of novel that readers will race to finish, then return to the beginning to marvel at how it was constructed-and at everything they missed.

Recommend to teens looking for a well-written work with a juicy ending. They will not be disappointed.” (School Library Journal)“Best-selling Oliver weaves a taut mystery interspersed with blog posts about Madeline’s disappearance, and the story is made all the more compelling by Nick and Dara’s close but troubling relationship, marked by both love and intense jealousy.” (Booklist)PRAISE FOR BEFORE I FALL: “Oliver’s debut novel is raw, emotional, and, at times, beautiful....readers will love Samantha best as she hurtles toward an end as brave as it is heartbreaking.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review))PRAISE FOR BEFORE I FALL: “Samantha’s attempts to save her life and right the wrongs she has caused are precisely what will draw readers into this complex story and keep them turning pages until Sam succeeds in living her last day the right way.” (Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) (Starred Review))PRAISE FOR BEFORE I FALL: “Oliver, in a pitch-perfect teen voice, explores the power we have to affect the people around us in this intensely believable first novel...This is a compelling book with a powerful message and should not be missed.” (ALA Booklist)PRAISE FOR PANIC: “Oliver makes a white-knuckle return to realism that will have readers up until the wee hours.” (Kirkus Reviews (starred review))PRAISE FOR PANIC: “Oliver’s novel is a wholly believable and compulsively readable tale of friendship, loyalty, survival, and courage.” (Booklist)PRAISE FOR PANIC: “Retains all the tension and excitement of Oliver’s Delirium…A work with sharp corners, dark places, and considerable humanity.” (The Horn Book)

Now the two sisters, who used to be so close, aren't speaking. In an instant, Nick lost everything and is determined to use the summer to get it all back.
But Dara has other plans. When she vanishes on her birthday, Nick thinks Dara is just playing around. But another girl has vanished, too—nine-year-old Madeline Snow—and as Nick pursues her sister, she becomes increasingly convinced that the two disappearances may be linked.

10 of 10 people found the following review helpful. I love how this book completely blindsided me By Nancy Do not be one of those people that read the last chapters of this book. Do not look at reviews that will spoil this book for you. You have to read it for yourself. Form you own opinions as to what is going on and commit to reading the last twenty percent of this book in one sitting.Now I am sure that others might have figured this book our earlier than I did, but I admit that there were parts that had me wondering; closer to confused, as to why certain characters were acting the way that they were, but I did not put all of the pieces together.There are two storylines going on here. You have wild Dara and the practical more reserved Nick, sisters that are close in age and closer in relationship that is until an accident that Nick cannot remember that leaves beautiful Dara scarred. Now the sisters are estranged and when Dara disappears on her birthday, Nick thinks that Dara is pretending. Nick can hear her in her bedroom, can see her getting on the bus, and knows that she is in the house, but she ignores her when Nick knocks on her door or calls out to her.Then you have nine-year-old Madeline Snow. She too has vanished but the story that her older sister tells is not adding up. Nick becomes obsessed with this missing child and knows that Dara too was hiding a secret before she too disappeared. Is it possible that Dara was involved in something and that is why they are both now missing?The mind field of teenage sisters is difficult at best, but when you add in a neighbor boy that both girls become involved with, devastation is bound to occur. The book weaves the sisters’ story from flashbacks to present day leaving the reader fixated on who is talking and from which timeframe it is occurring so they can put the puzzle pieces together.To say that this book is edgy and leaves the reader bewildered is an understatement. The final truth of this book will completely blow the reader away. An out of left field sucker punch to the gut is how I felt when I finished. I did not put all of the pieces together. I had questioned a couple of actions of certain characters, but still, the light did not dawn. I loved this book. Loved how it completely blindsided me and yet I did not feel betrayed by the author. An awesome book that I highly recommend.

Must reading especially for teen girls who have sisters By Neal Reynolds Author Lauren Oliver paints well developed and absolutely readable characterizations. These characters are living and breathing teen sisters who capture the reader's heart from the outset. We get Nick's and Dara's point of view in alternating chapters peppered with blog posts. This is both a touching and feeling look at sibling relationships and a spellbinding mystery surrounding a young girl's disappearance. The author does take her time in getting to the real point of the story, but in doing so, she adds depth to the theme of sibling relationship.The ending is a bit of a shocker, but it's done smoothly and believably. I do give this a high recommendation.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Twists and turns By AngryBard Nick is struggling with a sense of failure and a sick feeling of having lost something important. She was in a bad car accident with her twin Dara and since then, everything seems to have crumbled away: the sisters' close friendship, Nick's other relationships, her sense of direction and self-worth. Her parents set her up to work at a local amusement park for the summer to get her out of herself, but nothing seems to be working. Meanwhile, a young girl goes missing from the backseat of her elder sister's parked car one hot summer night, and the local community is on edge.I am an intermittent fan of Lauren Oliver. I loved Before I Fall and liked Panic and Delirium, but was disappointed in the rest of the Delirium trilogy that followed. Vanishing Girls is Oliver in fine form as a portrayer of good teenage girls who find themselves in trouble, struggling with their own self-image and sense of reality. I have no problem with her writing, but with one of the basic premises and major plot-twist of the book, which I'm not able to go into here for fear of spoiling your read. (It just doesn't add up, looking back from the end of the book.)Other than that, Vanishing Girls is a thriller, an exciting read where Nick's increasing confusion and frenzy is finely portrayed through the language. My only problem except the plot-hinge is that we've seen these girls before: good sister and bad sister, smart sister and sexy sister, kind sister and catty sister. At the end, I'm not sure if the insight that they're both ironically feeling as if the other sister is the powerful one in the relationship is Nick's or Dana's? Has Nick matured and reached a new level of insight or not? What was the truth about their symbiotic relationship? I wish Oliver had stayed with and explored this question more, instead of focusing on the cheap thrills of building a plot-twist.
