January 1, 2001 by Nancy Butts (Author) Age 10+ Grades 6-8 Paperback: 159 pages Publisher: Scholastic; 2nd Printing edition (2001) Language: English ISBN-10: 0439344182 ISBN-13: 978-0439344180 UPC: 9780439344180 Package Dimensions: 7.6 x 5.5 x 0.6 inches Shipping Weight: 4 ounces Mystery about time On a camping trip in the mountains, twelve-year-old Joey Finney is discovered missing. More than two years later, he is found in a Mini Mart. The mysterious thing is that he doesn't appear to be a day older, but everyone else has aged. Will Joey be able The last thing 12-year-old Joey remembers is that he got up in the middle of the night and headed to the restrooms just down the path from where his tent was pitched. The next thing he knows he's in the hospital after collapsing in a convenience store, being told by everyone how glad they are to have him back and that he's been gone for over two years. Joey can't tell them where he might have been or why he hasn't grown at all. Then the seizures start and Joey begins to remember what happened to him on that summer night. By chance, he gets an e-mail through one of the electronic bulletin boards for missing children that his mother has been on, and he tracks down a couple of college students who have a theory about what may have happened to him Alone that his returning memories support that he was abducted by aliens. The action and resolution of the story are fairly compressed and taut, and as for the believability who?s to say? We're talking alien abduction here, but the details are convincingly written. A few scenes with Joey's old best friend, who is now too cool to talk to him, and his now bigger, younger brother add the right pangs of adolescent angst. But one must question the author's wisdom in allowing her young character to pedal off on his bike to meet someone he's met on-line, purposefully concealing it from his parents. Although this book is a quick and exciting read, be aware that this one element can all too often lead to tragedy in the real world.

April 1, 1999 by Alison Leslie Gold (Author) Age Range: 10+ Grade Level: 6-8 Series: Polaris Paperback Paperback: 133 pages Publisher: Scholastic Paperbacks; First Paperback Edition edition (April 1, 1999) Language: English ISBN-10: 0590907239 ISBN-13: 978-0590907231 UPC: 078073005994 Product Dimensions: 5.5 x 0.2 x 7.8 inches A touching memoir recounts the story of Hannah Goslar, a close friend of Anne Frank during her time in Amsterdam and one of the last people to see her alive after their detainment at a concentration camp. Reprint. This stirring and emotional look into the life of Anne Frank's beloved childhood friend and Holocaust survivor, Hannah Pick-Goslar (known as "Lies" in Anne Frank's diary) is captivating. Anne and Hannah grew up in the same neighborhood in central Amsterdam and lived very similar lives. Pick-Goslar's narrative, under the tutelage of author Alison Leslie Gold, recalls the comfortable life both girls enjoyed before the Nazis. And Pick-Goslar describes the bright, funny girl she knew who suddenly disappeared from her life. The descriptions spare no detail in their accurate portrayal of the horrors of life in the concentration camps. It is ironic that both girls would be reunited at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, and Hannah was again at Anne's side until the very end of her young life. Hannah Pick-Goslar's involvement in this book gives credible testament to Anne's courage during the most horrific time of the 20th century. A phenomenal read for anyone desiring more information about Anne Frank. Unforgettable nonfiction for ages 9 to 12.
