Moth Girls Summary

Moth Girls by Anne Cassidy

Helplessly drawn like moths to the light, two girls go missing in an evocative and gripping tale . . . They called them the Moth Girls because they were attracted to the house. They were drawn to it. Or at least that is what is written in the newspapers that Mandy reads on the anniversary of when her two best friends went missing. Five years have passed since Petra and Tina were determined to explore the dilapidated house on Princess Street. But what started off as a dare ended with the two girls vanishing. As Mandy's memories of the disappearance of her two friends are ignited once again, disturbing details will resurface in her mind.

Moth Girls Reviews

Mandy is a strong central character and Cassidy shows again that she is an old hand at writing a taut and evocative YA novel -- Martin Chilton * telegraph.co.uk *
Moth Girls is a sharp look at the sometimes cruel reality of teenage friendships and the even crueller reality of a girl desperate to remain with what's left of her family, even though that brings with it the ever-present threat of violence. I really cared about what happened to these girls, and when an author is able to pull that off, I know a book has worked its magic -- Linda Wilson * crimereview.co.uk *
Enjoyed seeing flashbacks, that chapters were short and sharp; it's gorgeous cover and the writing, which ran smoothly and quickened pace towards the end of the novel! * Picnic Reads *
All I shall say it that this is a worthy addition to the stable that brought us Looking for JJ. Thrill seekers and mystery addicts will love this -- Helen Thompson * School Librarian Magazine, Summer 2016 *
