The Disappeared

The Disappeared by Gloria Whelan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The author, Gloria Whelan, is a National Book Award winner, and does a terrific job of presenting this story of the Desaparecidos (the disappeared) of Argentina during the 1970's. This story is told from two viewpoints, the voice of Silvia, a teenage girl of some privilege, and that of her older brother, Eduardo. It is scary and enlightening, and a great way to learn of this tragic era in Argentina's history. Perfect for middle school students.
