Missing Sisters


by Gregory Maguire

Blue Flag: For readers aged 10+
Blue Flag: For readers aged 10+

Alice Colossus is a bright but shy twelve-year-old who has spent her life in an orphanage in upstate New York. Then at summer camp the girls keep mistaking her for someone called Miami. Is this a clue to Alice's real background? Determined to solve the mystery, Alice breaks all the rules by setting off to find Miami, and perhaps a family of her own at last. A story of courage and individuality, told with humour and originality.
