A disturbing and powerful psychological thriller about a girl who must piece together the mystery of her kidnapping and abuse, Pretty Girl-13 is a haunting yet ultimately uplifting story about the healing power of courage, hope, and love.

Angie Chapman was thirteen years old when she ventured into the woods on a Girl Scout camping trip. Now she's returned home...only to find that it's three years later and she's sixteen—or at least that's what everyone tells her. What happened to the last three years of her life?

With a tremendous amount of courage, Angie embarks on a journey to discover the fragments of her lost time. She eventually discovers a terrifying secret and must decide: What do you do when you remember things you wish you could forget?

Being as this was a teen book I figured out what was happening before they showed it in the book but it was still a really great book. I LOVED IT! It showed how a young girl survived multiple cases of abuse and some of how the family handled it. HOWEVER I did want to punch the dad in the face for not believing her and beating the crud out of someone who hurt her (violent I know but you will understand if you read it). I would have liked to have seen that person destroyed.
