Seventeen-year-old Luke's older sister, Pat, has always been his moral compass, like a voice inside his head, every time he has a decision to make. So when Pat disappears on a tiny island off the coast of Honduras and the authorities claim she's drowned - despite the fact that they can't produce a body - Luke heads to Honduras to find her because he knows something the authorities don't. From the moment of her disappearance, Pat's voice has become real, guiding him to Utila, where she had accepted a summer internship to study whale sharks. Once there, he meets several characters who describe his sister as a very different girl from the one knows. Does someone have a motive for wanting her dead? Determined to get to the bottom of Pat's disappearance, Luke risks everything, including his own life, to find the answer.

About the Author:
Born in Philadelphia, S.J. LAIDLAW spent most of her childhood in Toronto. From an early age, she loved reading and writing stories. After completing an undergraduate degree in English, she ventured to Africa as a volunteer teacher. There she discovered that her students needed as much support and guidance outside the classroom as in it, so after three years, she returned to Canada to complete a graduate degree in clinical social work. Since then, she has worked as a counselor in many countries and has led workshops for parents and educators on raising and working with third-culture children. Her first book, An Infidel in Paradise, was published to much critical acclaim.
From Booklist:
When 17-year-old Luke’s sister, Pat, goes missing while interning at a shark research center on an island in Honduras and the police assume the worst, he can’t face the thought that she might really be dead and travels there alone to find her. Soon he learns that the sister he loved—responsible, vegan, plan-driven—had adopted a wholly different persona, even going by Tricia instead of Pat. With the help of a few unlikely friends, Luke gradually pieces together the days before his sister’s disappearance, and a side of her he never knew. All the while, Luke stages conversations with Pat in his head that help him make sense of his lingering feelings of abandonment and guilt, especially his fear that his drinking and drug use drove Pat away. Though some plot turns seem to come out of nowhere and a few characters verge on cartoonish, Luke’s determined, heartfelt first-person narration rings true. Laidlaw’s fast-paced mystery makes great use of its well-realized, unique setting, particularly regarding the tensions between tourists and local residents. Grades 9-12. --Sarah Hunter
