Missing (2013)

In Missing, a series of self-contained chapters each investigate a different case of something that vanished, from the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list to the legend of the Bermuda Triangle, lost treasure, and the search for the supposedly extinct ivory-billed woodpecker. Written for middle-grade readers, the short chapters include timelines, key terms, and quick facts that explain the real-world events behind the headlines. The book blends true-crime, scientific mystery, and adventure stories to show why these disappearances fascinate people and how investigators try to solve them.
