Full description for The Vanishing of Katharina Linden

• Shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal, Helen Grant's first teen novel "The Vanishing of Katharina Linden" follows a misfit teenager as she attempts to unravel the mystery of several strange disappearances in the small town of Bad Munstereifel. "The Vanishing of Katharina Linden" bridges the world of the traditional Grimm fairytale with the darker world of Angela Carter's adult fairytales. On the day Katharina Linden disappears, Pia is the last person to see her. Terror is spreading through the town. How could a ten-year-old girl vanish in a place where everybody knows everybody else? Pia is determined to find out what happened to Katharina. But then the next girl disappears..."For something so chilling, it is terrific entertainment". ("Sunday Times"). "Grant's splendid debut ...is a feast of treats and creeps. Wonderful". ("Guardian"). "A strange, haunting modern fairy tale". (John Connolly, author of "The Book of Lost Things"). The setting of the small German town of Bad Munstereifel, in Helen Grant's debut novel "The Vanishing of Katharina Linden", is based on her own experience of emigrating there from England as a child. Her other darkly thrilling young adult novels, "The Glass Demon" and "Wish Me Dead", are also available from Penguin.
