This book is too rushed to really develop a friendship between these two girls that feels plausible or emotionally satisfying. Which you have to admit would be pretty weird, especially since the mini-van incident ended up putting Darra’s father in prison. They both try to put the incident behind them and don’t expect to cross paths again, but then they run into each other at summer camp as teenagers.
Wren spent several days frightened and hungry in Darra’s family’s garage before finally escaping. When Darra and Wren were little, Darra’s father stole Wren’s mother’s minivan unaware that the girl was hiding in the back. This brief (fairly easily to read in one sitting) teen book-in-poems is told in alternating voices by two girls connected by one traumatic incident.
Hidden starts out with a interesting premise but I felt the author failed to do anything with it that would make it memorable. Sadly, this is one of those cases where a book’s cover art is way better than the book itself.
