Island of Lost Girls

by Jennifer McMahon

Sitting in front of the local convenience store, Rhonda Farr witnesses a little girl being a abducted from her mother's car by a six-foot bunny.  This abduction brings Rhonda back to 1993, and her best friend Lizzie who later disappeared.  By revisiting the events of that summer, Rhonda sees through her adult eyes the secrets she didn't see as a child.

Another great book by Jennifer McMahon.  She manages to tell the story both in the current time and that long-ago summer without any confusion or loss of storyline.  I especially liked how the way that Rhonda perceived things as a child shaped into what she believed happened as an adult.  It's only when Rhonda is able to understand what really happened that she is able to move past that fateful summer.

This was a paperback I got from Amazon for $6.  It would have been worth paying more.
