Vanished: True Stories of the Missing by Marc Tyler Nobleman

Vanished: True Stories of the Missing by Marc Tyler Nobleman is exactly what you would think - true stories about people who are/were missing. The book highlights 7 different cases, some of whom have been found, and some are still missing.

Erica Pratt, second grader—“Escape from the Basement” is about a little girl who was kidnapped.


Percy Fawcett, explorer—“The Real Indiana Jones" is the story of a man who disappeared while on an exploration.

Grant Hadwin, woodsman—“The Golden Tree Killer” is about a man who tried to make a statement about our environment, only to anger and betray many people throughout the world.

Henry Grimes, musician—“Play That Song Again” tells the story of a famous musician who simply vanished.

Everett Ruess, nature lover—“I Leave No Trace” is the story of a person who, on eday, disappeared into the nature he loved so much.

Hannah Klamecki, kindergartner—“Very Harder Than I Thought” tells of a 6 year old girl and her grandfather who went missing during an afternoon boat ride.

Antoine de Saint-ExupĂ©ry, aviator/author—“Pilot, Poet, and Prince” is about a pilot who disappeared during a mission.

This was a really fun read. It was interesting to read about these people and their experiences. Some of them were tragic while others were triumphant!
