Write your text about the novel "Girl missing"


My prediction: Girl missing

Your text should be organized like this: Firstly, write a paragraph where you write a short background to what this novel is all about. Only one paragraph.

Secondly, your write what you think will happen next in the novel. What is going to happen to Lauren? How will the story end? What do YOU think? (1-2 paragraphs)
