HIDDEN

BY HELEN FROST

Hidden is a book about two girls Wren Abbott and Darra Monson. When they are eight years old, Darra's father steals a minivan. He doesn't know that Wren is hiding in the back. In the following hours and days the lives of both girls drastically change. Years later, the girls face each other for the first time at a summer camp. They can finally learn the truth-that is, if theyre willing to reveal to each other the stories that they've hidden for so long. The book is told from alternating viewpoints, in poems. It reveals the complexities of memory and the strength of a friendship that can overcome pain.
