THE
DISAPPEARANCES
follows
a
teen
girl
who
moves
to
her
recently
deceased
mother's
hometown
and
discovers
that
it
is
cursed
to
lose
the
experiences
that
weave
life
together—the
sound
of
music,
the
stars
in
the
sky,
the
ability
to
dream—and
that
her
mom
may
be
to
blame.
Every seven years something disappears in the town of Sterling: reflections, dreams, colors, stars. When Aila Quinn arrives, she realizes why her deceased mother, Juliet, never spoke of growing up there—the town is cursed to lose the experiences that weave life together, and everyone thinks Juliet is to blame.
Aila sets out to clear her mother’s name with the help of George, whose goofy charm makes him a fast friend; Beas, the enigmatic violinist who writes poetry on her knees; and William, whose pull on Aila’s heart terrifies her.
The Disappearancesis a bewitching tale full of intrigue, beauty, and dread that will leave you entranced.

Recenzii
"The
Disappearancesis
a
book
of
wonder
and
mystery
by
first
time
novelist,
Emily
Bain
Murphy.
It
is
well
crafted
and
the
plot
is
memorable
and
complex.
Shakespeare’s
words
help
solve
the
mystery,
leaving
the
reader
with
a
sense
of
hope
as
well
as
awe.
This
book
should
appeal
to
young
adults
and
adults.
The
eloquent
writing
style
and
the
well-researched
inclusion
of
historical
details
make
it
memorable.
Aila
and
Miles
often
use
one
word
to
summarize
an
experience,
calling
it
a
finishing
word.
My
finishing
word
after
readingThe
Disappearancesis
sublime."
—Assembly on Literature for Adolescents of the NCTE, an ALAN pick Nov/Dec 2016
"Thick with mystery, buried secrets, and magic, nothing is safe inThe Disappearances. Be careful, or you might lose yourself in this strange and wondrous world, where stars go missing, reflections don’t exist, and the question,how much would you sacrifice for love?is given entirely new meaning. I adored this book!"
