Alison, Who Went Away

211 pp. | Houghton | March, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-618-04585-6 $$15.00
(4) YA In a sometimes withering tone, Susan reveals that her rebellious older sister Alison "went away" three years earlier and hasn't been heard from since. Susan is a likable, self-deprecating character, but her narration is disappointingly flat, especially considering that, as she finally lets on, her sister was likely the victim of a serial killer.
