It seems incredible that a call-in TV show featuring pictures of missing children could change her life so drastically, but when a 16-year-old recognizes her father in the photo on the screen, she discovers that the family whos been searching for their daughter is looking for her. But who is she? Brooke or Amy? Shes been living with her father and now learns hes taken her illegally. Who do you love when everyone says they love you? How can anyone know which parent loves you most? Susan Beth Pfeffer delivers yet another hard-hitting novel that delves into the issues that confront real teens today. "Lively narration, peppered with wry, insightful wit, and the storys balanced resolution make it enjoyable reading...."--School Library Journal "Pfeffer perfectly conveys Brookes hurt and resentment.... Readers will share Brookes anxiety as she tries to adapt to a new family while remaining loyal to her father, and theyll understand her anger when she finally realizes the cost of her fathers actions."--Booklist "The emotions are raw...but the story combines the draw of sensational headlines with an understanding of teenage struggles."--The Bulletin of the Center for Childrens Books "The author maintains so brisk a pace and so appealingly plumbs her heroines emotional life that the reader will want to believe in the story."--Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
