Mod
Task 20.4 option 2 requires "a book with a major plot arc/subject where someone is missing or disappears mysteriously"
Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence
The summary states "experiences of three girls who fled from the repressive life of Moore River Native Settlement" and you state "As stated in summary they were taken to a resettlement camp and ran away making their journey back to their families. "
There is no "missing" of "disappearance" subject as it appears that the story is of the girls' experiences. This is not a story of missing girls.

Well dratted. I didn't even think about it since in my head it was YA. But I'm shocked because it doesn't qualify on AR, apparently they have the BL as only 4.7. I've had other books qualify that I would have questioned more than this one.
