2000s: What would it take to make you intervene?
I Am Watching You
What you need to know before your trail
When Ella Longfield overhears two attractive young men flirting with teenage girls on a train, she thinks nothing of it—until she realises they are fresh out of prison and her maternal instinct is put on high alert. But just as she’s decided to call for help, something stops her. The next day, she wakes up to the news that one of the girls—beautiful, green-eyed Anna Ballard—has disappeared.
A year later, Anna is still missing. Ella is wracked with guilt over what she failed to do, and she’s not the only one who can’t forget. Someone is sending her threatening letters—letters that make her fear for her life.
Then an anniversary appeal reveals that Anna’s friends and family might have something to hide. Anna’s best friend, Sarah, hasn’t been telling the whole truth about what really happened that night—and her parents have been keeping secrets of their own.
Someone knows where Anna is—and they’re not telling. But they are watching Ella.
Travel Guide
Exeter
A girl on a train witnesses two girls getting hassle from two men who have just got on the train. The men are carrying black bags – their worldly possessions inside from their recent stay in prison. What would you do in a train carriage, where you are the only witness to the growing level of unease?
What then happens when you discover much later than one of the girls you saw on the train is now missing? This is a good novel to test your own level of ‘what would I do’ and think of safety and the consequences of not speaking up.
