From School Library Journal Gr 4–7—Raine and her Grandma share a magical ability: they can both read memories that linger on objects. Raine's fingers tingle to touch and experience the "sparkles" of memory that she views on objects. When Raine's grandmother passes away, she and her eccentric mother settle into the town of Yielding. In her new home, Raine relives short glimpses of past memories that have occurred in the house. Little does she and her mother know that they have moved into the house of the local schoolgirl, Emily H., who disappeared weeks ago. School is burdensome as Raine deals with three cruel bullies. Her once stable life starts to unravel as she suspects that the mean girls know something about Emily's disappearance. Raine realizes she must take the risk and pick up "sparkles" from them to get to the bottom of the mystery. As she delves into their disturbing memories, she learns enough to get started on solving the disappearance of Emily. Raine grapples with bullying (both in person and online) and must defeat a dangerous pyromaniac—all to help get Emily back to her family. Themes of communication and trust build throughout the plot as Raine faces challenges. VERDICT In this mild action-adventure, readers will value the captivating, emotional roller coaster young girls experience with friendships and new beginnings.—Krista Welz, North Bergen High School, NJ

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A Fast & Interesting Read By Jill I'll admit it to you here, the reasons why I picked this book up are more personal than anything. My girlfriend's name is in fact Emily H. I took it as a sign to read this one. In short, it's a cute, quick read that I think younger audiences than me would appreciate more.One of the big things that this book has going for it is the blending of realistic fiction and fantasy. It's really detailed and well-written as a realistic fiction. That is, there's a girl who is missing and a mystery to solve. Likewise, there's a clique-ish cast of girls who are mean bullies. It's a very real situation to believe, on the surface.But then there's Raine. Raine has these "sparkles" or little touches that were passed on through her family that allow her to see pieces of the past. She wants to use her gift for the greater good in order to help find out for once and for all what happened to Emily. This gift is a cool touch, but is one that I feel isn't very well explained. I got the overall concept and it works on some level, but lacked a bit of information. Regardless, it was this gift that gave this story a nice fantastical pop.There's also a little bit of romance, but I appreciated that it wasn't a main focus of the plot. It was sweet to read about though.This book tackles a lot, sometimes more than enough at once. Despite that overload, the theme of bullying in this book is an important and a clear one. It's a little sad how many books on bullying have come my way lately, but I understand their importance in the world. I've been Raine's age and it can be a nightmare. I think while it's dealing with tough stuff, the author keeps a good balance of serious and less serious, both of which balance well to create a well-paced, fairly cohesive story.I think that readers that are closer to Raine's age- that is, 8th grade- will really enjoy this one. It's got a well-written, well-paced story that deals with issues like bullying that are prominent throughout junior high. It has a nice blend of relatability and paranormal aspects, with a touch of romance and cuteness.I was provided a copy in exchange for my honest review.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A couple of flaws, but still very cute... By endlesswonderofreading I'm weird when it comes to Middle Grade books. Most of the time they disappoint me because they'll either be too boring or they'll be slightly too juvenile for my tastes. It takes a lot for a children/middle grade book (that's not a classic) to impress me. And while I did find The Disappearance of Emily H to have more than its fair share of flaws, I did enjoy reading it and wouldn't categorize it as a waste of time.The Good: The Disappearance of Emily H was the farthest thing from boring. It pretty much hooked me on page 1 and I ended up reading it in one sitting even though I had tons of work to do. I loved learning about Raine's "sparkles" and I loved her gift of getting to see other people's memories. In fact, the only issue I had with this particular plot point was that I wanted so much more of it. I kept wanting to see mystery-opening sparkles as well as your regular mundane sparkles. Another thing I loved was Raine. I found Raine to be absolutely adorable! She was just too cute and I loved that she wasn't bratty at all. This took care of the other complaint I had about middle-grade books sometimes being too juvenile for my tastes. This book wasn't, mainly because Raine was very mature for her age. But she didn't come out as too precocious. There's a fine line when it comes to that and I'm happy to say that the author didn't cross it. I also liked the way that Summy handled the bullying aspect of The Disappearance of Emily H. I found it to be very well done.The Not-So-Good: A couple of the sentences in The Disappearance of Emily H were clunky. I just kept wanting to take a red pen and correct the ones that I feel should have been reworded. However, do take into account that I read an ARC of this book and that might have been fixed in the final copy. Also, this book moves along at an excellent pace, but then stalls and stutters when it comes to having an exploding, climactic ending. I was like "This is it?" I was kind of disappointed in that aspect. Anyway, the biggest reason that I gave The Disappearance of Emily H three stars instead of four is because I had to suspend my disbelief when it came to the police aspect of this book. There will be some spoilers below, if you don't want to read them, I'll mark when they're done:It might seem like a minuscule thing, but I didn't like the fact that Emily was so able to get her laptop and phone even though she is presumed missing. If there are no leads in a disappearance of a child, I would think that the cops would have her laptop and phone under lock and key in order to track any incoming phone calls or texts she might have been receiving or they would have stashed her laptop in order to figure out her online activity prior before her going missing. At the very least, her parents would have noticed that her laptop and phone were missing. But no. Emily was able to have her laptop/phone for months without anyone noticing that it was missing. Another thing that slightly bugged me was the fact that Emily accuses a guy of arson, the police question him, let him go because they don't have any evidence, yet we don't hear anything about the guy she accused being a suspect in her disappearance. And you're telling me that a guy accused of arson isn't going to be watched to make sure he's not setting other things on fire or that the cops didn't pick him up after numerous fires were started? Nope. I call BS on that. I understand it's this is a middle grade book and so the whole cop angle wasn't as intricate or explored as much as it would've been had this been a YA or "adult" book, but how about we don't dumb things down for kids in middle grade?End of Spoiler.Overall, I still found The Disappearance of Emily H to be enjoyable. It was cute and it had a great premise when it came to Raine's sparkles. In fact, I would completely read another book about Raine's gift and would love it if it was made into a series. I would totally check those out. Despite the flaws, I still kind of recommend this book.

Utterly disappointing By Amelia G Earhart I don’t remember the last time I saw a book that had such an interesting premise that went all so boring and silly. Improbable. Foolish. Unlikely.And this is everyone from the bully who isn’t even a good middle school bully on down to the arsonist who wasn’t very good either. Even the lies weren’t that interesting. They were dumb. The plans made by the bullies were ho-hum. I just have to guess this writer has not been in a middle school lately because the drama is bigger than life.Oh, and the girls who should be put on the Varsity running team are not generally the 8th graders. Usually there are better candidates, like the high school students who have been running 3 or 4 more years and who have more experience, more practice, and much longer legs. Ditto, Junior Varsity.Most of it may be that it is being written to the wrong age group. These girls and their skills should not be much over 5th grade, if that.
