Kate Messner’s new novel, Wake Up Missing, has all the qualities you want in a thriller: deceit, science taken to the extreme, and characters that you root for – especially when it looks like there is no hope. Messner has taken two very prominent issues ripped from the headlines, and combined them into a fast paced cranial feast as she explores concussions and gene therapy.
Readers can meet Kate Messner and three other authors this Saturday, Sept 28 at 4pm, as part of Oblong Books' League of Extraordinary Readers series for middle grade readers -- this month's theme is thrilling adventures. The event will be at Oblong's Rhinebeck store.
