In June 2012, Henry announced that the film company Tempest had optioned the rights to the novel.[1] PlotThe book begins with Drew, answering the phone at his job, He works at Pete's Pizza with Kayla Cutler. The man on the phone tells him his name is "John Robertson" and he wants 3 meat monsters. Before ordering he asks if the girl with the mini cooper, Gabie Klug, is working. Drew doesn't answer his question. He sends Kayla out with the order and she doesn't return. The police think that Kayla knew whoever took her because her car was in park, but not off. They find a bloody rock by the river and begin to look for Kayla's dead body. From there everybody begins to blame Gabie because she switched nights with Kayla so that she worked Wednesday. Witnesses say that it was a boy named Cody because he painted his white truck brown. The police are looking for a white truck. Gabie is a part-time delivery girl at Pete's Pizza. Gabie finds out that John Robertson didn't want Kayla; he wanted Gabie.[2] ReceptionThe novel received positive reviews. Wendy Schmalz, for Publishers Weekly, was particularly effusive, stating "it's a riveting story that many readers will finish in one sitting", finding that "each chapter is a surprise, and the tension builds steadily until the inevitable climactic face-off."[3] Erin Wyatt, for VOYA magazine, found it to be a "plot-driven, page-turning thriller", stating that "Henry provides just enough detail to provide depth and complexity to the characters" and that "the suspense builds to a fever pitch near the end of the book."[4] Traci Glass, for School Library Journal, called the novel a "fast-paced, gripping thriller" and that "fans of intense page-turners and those who liked Michele Jaffe's Rosebush or Lucy Christopher's Stolen will love this one." Tempering this a little, Glass also found that "the ending comes a little too fast and is too neatly tied up", though does find that, despite this, "Gabie is an intriguing protagonist."[5] Kirkus Reviews offered a more critical viewpoint, stating that they found that the way the novel is written, including various police reports and interviews and varying character view-points, to "add interest and texture to what otherwise would be a straight genre tale". They found that "the police seem amazingly obtuse, Gabie's belief that Kayla is alive is given no realistic, clue-based hook and the third quarter [of the novel] has some pacing problems"; however also that "Gabie and Drew's budding relationship is believable, and it has a strong wingding climax followed by a feel-good ending"; concluding that the novel is "unexceptional but solid."[6] References1. ^{{cite web|title=The Night She Disappeared has been optioned for film!|url=http://aprilhenry.livejournal.com/1056912.html|publisher=April Henry|accessdate=8 October 2012}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.teenreads.com/reviews/the-night-she-disappeared/excerpt |title=The Night She Disappeared |first=April |last=Henry |publisher=teenreads.com |date= |accessdate=2012-06-25}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-8050-9262-2 |title=Children's Review: The Night She Disappeared by April Henry|publisher=Publishersweekly.com |date=2012-02-06 |accessdate=2012-06-25 |first=Wendy |last=Schmalz}} 4. ^{{cite web|first=Erin |last=Wyatt |url=http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-night-she-disappeared-april-henry/1104154811 |title=The Night She Disappeared by April Henry, Henry Holt and Co.
