Gone For Good

Gone For Good by Sarah Crossan is a razor-sharp YA verse novel that blends the raw intensity of contemporary teen fiction with the pulse of a missing girl thriller. Told in Crossan’s precise, spare poetry, it’s the kind of book you’ll tear through, then think about long after.

Connie Ryder is taken from her home in the dead of night and delivered to Silver Lake Academy, a remote, high-security facility for “troubled” teens. Inside, strict rules and constant surveillance keep vulnerable kids and volatile ones side by side. When Connie discovers she’s been assigned the bed of a girl named Belle—who has vanished—she starts noticing the gaps in the official story, and the dangerous reasons everyone wants her to stop asking questions.

Perfect for readers who love fast-paced YA mystery, dark campus settings, and stories about power, resilience, and survival.
