title: The Disappearance of Emily H.
author:  Barrie Summy 
description: Gr 47Raine and her Grandma share a magical ability: they can both read memories that linger on objects. Raine's fingers tingle to touch and experience the "sparkles" of memory that she views on objects. When Raine's grandmother passes away, she and her eccentric mother settle into the town of Yielding. In her new home, Raine relives short glimpses of past memories that have occurred in the house. Little does she and her mother know that they have moved into the house of the local schoolgirl, Emily H., who disappeared weeks ago. School is burdensome as Raine deals with three cruel bullies. Her once stable life starts to unravel as she suspects that the mean girls know something about Emily's disappearance. Raine realizes she must take the risk and pick up "sparkles" from them to get to the bottom of the mystery. As she delves into their disturbing memories, she learns enough to get started on solving the disappearance of Emily. Raine grapples with bullying (both in person and online) and must defeat a dangerous pyromaniacall to help get Emily back to her family. Themes of communication and trust build throughout the plot as Raine faces challenges. VERDICT In this mild action-adventure, readers will value the captivating, emotional roller coaster young girls experience with friendships and new beginnings.Krista Welz, North Bergen High School, NJ

  Reporter Emily Baxter survived the alien red rain that blanketed and
  annihilated the human race. But after the downpour, and the lethal contagion
  it spread, came an even greater horror: the rampant transformation of the dead
  into something utterly unearthly.
  
  
  With a terrifying new form of life emerging from the mutated landscape,
  Emily’s only hope is to flee toward distant Alaska where she can unite with
  the survivors who have reached out to her from a remote science facility. The
  journey from New York will be long and painstaking, and Emily has only her
  faithful dog and whatever she can carry. But, after discovering a small family
  of refugees along the way, Emily’s determination to escape the unfolding
  catastrophe and carve out a new future is renewed. Standing in their way are
