Book Description:

A gripping novel about the depth of a sister's love; poised to be the next book you won't be able to stop talking about.

A missing girl on a journey of revenge and a Serial-like podcast following the clues she's left behind. 

Sadie hasn't had an easy life. Growing up on her own, she's been raising her sister Mattie in an isolated small town, trying her best to provide a normal life and keep their heads above water. 

But when Mattie is found dead, Sadie's entire world crumbles. After a somewhat botched police investigation, Sadie is determined to bring her sister's killer to justice and hits the road following a few meager clues to find him.

When West McCray—a radio personality working on a segment about small, forgotten towns in America—overhears Sadie's story at a local gas station, he becomes obsessed with finding the missing girl. He starts his own podcast as he tracks Sadie's journey, trying to figure out what happened, hoping to find her before it's too late.

Courtney Summers has written the breakout book of her career. Sadie is propulsive and harrowing and will keep you riveted until the last page. 


More about THE GIRLS podcast:
THE GIRLS: Find Sadie is the first-ever YA thriller podcast. The Serial-like show is based off the novel Sadie by Courtney
Summers. In a brilliant move, Summers scripted periodic chapters of the novel like a podcast script, hosted by fictional
radio personality West McCray. The six-part podcast series brings these chapters to life with a 30+ person cast, music,
and sound effects and was a collaboration between Macmillan Audio, Macmillan Podcasts, and Wednesday Books.
Episode 1 launches on August 1st, and the show will air seven weekly episodes available on all the major podcast

platforms. The final episode will feature a bonus interview with Courtney Summers and her editor Sara Goodman.

Filled with twisty turns and events you don't see coming, Sadie is probably one of the best mysteries I've read by Summers, not just this year, but ever and has definitely made my top ten reads this year.

Filled with so much love and hate and the need to make things right, Sadie will have you eagerly turning the pages gobbling up ever delicious turn of events and reveals so fast that they will leave your head spinning and wishing that you would have savored it just a bit more by the time to come to the heartbreaking last page. 

Truly a stand out mystery not only about two sisters and their need to survive, but about family love that comes in all shapes, sizes and circumstances. A book that will leave you breathless and somewhat heartbroken by the end in all the very best ways that Summer knows how to. 

A must read for everyone.
