Girl, Vanishing

by Madeline Dyer

Seventeen-year-old Kira Taylor's fragile mental health means she doesn't know what's real anymore. But she is certain of the following: the day of the Bad Stuff changed everything; the dystopian world she lives in is getting worse; and the voice in her head will protect her.

Having been committed to the De Hewitt Psychiatric Hospital, Kira slowly begins to accept that she's safe here. She starts to make friends and even gets used to the new branding on her forehead that marks her for what she is: an Untrustworthy Offender.

But then the voice inside Kira's head tells her she needs to escape. Her past is catching up with her, and she needs to run... now.

GIRL, VANISHING is a heartbreaking story examining mental health, trauma, despair, and desperation.

Content warnings: self-harm, suicidal ideation, abuse, and murder.
