Alexis, Nick, and Ruby have very different backgrounds: Alexis has spent
her life covering for her mom's mental illness, Nick's bravado hides his
fear of not being good enough, and Ruby just wants to pursue her
eccentric interests in a world that doesn't understand her. When the
three teens join Portland County Sheriff's Search and Rescue, they are
teamed up to search for a autistic man lost in the woods. What they find
instead is a dead body. In a friendship that will be forged in danger,
fear and courage, the three team up to find the girl's killer--before he
can strike one of their own.
This first book in April Henry's Point Last Seen YA mystery series, The
Body in the Woods is full of riveting suspense, putting readers right
in the middle of harrowing rescues and crime scene investigations.
