The Vietnam War rages overseas, but back at home, in a year that begins with the hanging of one man and ends with the drowning of another, eleven schoolgirls embrace their own chilling history when their teacher abruptly goes missing on a field trip. Who was the mysterious poet they had met in the Garden? What actually happened in the seaside cave that day? And most important--who can they tell about it?
A book from the teen section that many adults would enjoy. A popular teacher goes missing, and the code of silence sworn by a small group of girls takes the story in some unusual directions. If you like to get into the minds of adolescents try this.

A quiet and chilling read. It is very similar to the movie "Picnic at Hanging Rock."
There is a great companion Web site that goes along with this book: http://www.thegoldenday.info/
