Prize-winning author Marcus Sedgwick explores obsession, trust and coincidence in this page-turning thriller. 16-year-old Laureth Peak's mission to find her missing father. A mission made all the more difficult by one fact: Laureth Peak is blind.

Laureth's father is a writer. For years he's been trying, and failing, to write a novel about coincidence. His wife thinks he's obsessed. Laureth thinks he's on the verge of a breakdown. He's supposed to be doing research in Austria, so when his notebook shows up in New York, Laureth knows something is wrong.

On impulse, she steals her mother's credit card and heads for the States, taking her little brother Benjamin with her. Reunited with the notebook, they follow clues to find their wayward father. But the challenges and threats that lie ahead are even tougher for Laureth than they would be for any other teenager - because Laureth has no vision to guide her.

Read from braille by Anna Cannings, featuring an author's note read by Marcus Sedgwick and a bonus conversation between the author and reader.©2013 Marcus Sedgwick Family Life Growing Up & Facts of Life Literature & Fiction Mystery & Suspense Physical Illness & Disease

I felt a bit disappointed at the end of this book and a great part of it is because it says in the description that it lasts more than 9 hours BUT IT DOESN'T. It only lasts a little bit more than 5 hours I think. 91 chapters are in the file and half of them are the book and the rest are parts of the book scattered. Something is very wrong with that file. Or I'm too stupid to figure out why it's put together that way.
Anyhow, I was expecting the story to go on and it ended abruptly. It spoils the narrative greatly. And I'm not sure I would have bought it had I known it was such a short book. I feel cheated.
The story is nice but not extraordinary. The one thing I really enjoyed is seeing the world through Laureth's eyes, I feel it's a very truthful depiction of the a blind person's point of view.
At the very end, there's a little interview with Anna Cannings, whose reading is amazing, and it's a very nice touch.

Nice story but...
