In the book, "The Local News" by Miriam Gershow, a boy goes missing. Danny was popular, athletic and the shining star of the family. His sister, Lydia, is the smart one and always lived in the shadow of her brother and she feels that going missing was the only interesting thing her brother ever did.
Lydia's parents are so consumed with the investigation of Danny that Lydia finds herself thrust into a world which she is unsure of. The popular crowd, Danny's friends, are suddenly interested in her and the private eye hired to locate Danny also peaks her curiosity and Lydia starts to become involved more and more.
It is a look at how our siblings affect our lives, define who we are and who we will eventually become.
