What you need to know before your trail

Katie and Mia are sisters but they are poles apart. Katie, the elder sister, is responsible and reliable. Mia, is adventurous and carefree so it is no suprise that it is Mia who ends up on the trek of a lifetime which takes her from her home on the West coast of America to Australia, New Zealand and to Bali; until she ends up at the bottom of a cliff .

Katie is determined to find out what happened to her sister, and doesn’t really believe that Mia would commit suicide. What did happen to Mia and can Katie ever find out and get close to the sister she didn’t really know after all?

Travel Guide

With only the entries of Mia’s travel journal as her guide, it’s just like a booktrail! Katie retraces the last few months of her sister’s life, and – page by page, country by country – begins to uncover the mystery surrounding her death. Lucy Clarke is a booktrail favourite. You can tell she loves to travel.

Reading the diary of a traveller, reading the book written by a writer who herself has travelled the world makes for a fantastic journey for the rest of us. This writer loves to travel, loves her locations and remembers the essence of them – the grains of sand, the whispers on the wind and then recreates them for her readers.

From London across the world to Indonesia, California and Western Australia this is a journey where one girl is trying to find the truth about her sister and makes for a poignant and heartbreaking read at times. Trying to go to paradise for the most horrific of reasons brought many emotions out when reading and proves to be a journey for the sister who searches as well as the one who sadly died.
