Hen is eleven and on the runSomething bad happened to Mum at Easter and now she's gone, she's missing. That's when things go wrong: when something important's missing.Dad knows what's happened, or he's got a good idea, and now that's why he and Hen are running, before they go missing, too.Missing joins Hen and Dad as they're running to escape Mum's fate just as they can run no further, and danger is catching up. It's about hiding in museums and building sites, ditches and canals, and hoping that the hideous rasping breathing you can hear will walk on by.It's about looking behind the everyday world and seeing what goes on beneath.Missing is the first episode in the Auriga*Command series; it's Hen's first steps in solving the mystery of what happened to Mum, and to fixing it.Can I read Missing?Missing is for anyone aged nine and above who likes mysteries, adventures and righting wrongs. It's the things that scare and amaze us all, written for real. There are worse and more wonderful things in the world than wizards and master criminals and they live next door.Missing starts a journey that will take you everywhere.Who is Hen?Hen is everyone and anyone. Hen could be you.
