Piper Gray is a fan of true crime podcasts. She especially likes Dead, Deader, Deadest. When she moves in with her dad and stepmother, starting at a new school seems pretty intimidating until she learns about something called the Senior Passion Project required for all seniors. Piper also learns about an almost 20 year old murder mystery in her new community. That seems like the perfect topic for her own podcast.
With the help of her Creative Writing teacher and a student named Jonas, Piper begins her project. Trips to the library to read about the cold case and interviews with anyone who might remember what happened years ago, give Piper the information she needs to investigate the murder of Firview teen Layla Trello.
With each podcast episode Piper feels like she is getting closer to finding some answers. Unfortunately, someone else thinks she might be getting too close. Threatening DMs and Facebook comments should have Piper taking a step back, but instead she is determined to find the answers not even the police were able to find years ago.
Author April Henry uses her unique storytelling style to follow Piper's quest to solve Layla's mystery. Incorporating podcast transcripts, news articles, and recorded interviews, Henry makes GIRL FORGOTTEN a true crime page turner. Fans will enjoy the suspense and readers new to Henry's stories will be heading to the library or bookstore for more.
