The Weight of Silence by Heather Gudenkauf

This book was written by someone who lives in Iowa and takes place in Iowa. On a quiet August morning, two little girls are found missing from their bedroom. Seven-year-old Calli Clark is a sweet, gentle, dreamer who suffers from selective mutism. Her best friend, Petra Gregory is Calli's voice. This is a story of how the families copes during the search and the aftermath of that search. It is written through all the participant's narrations. I thought it was a interesting book, and got really exciting at the end. It is well worth reading. PatM
