The Disappeared by Gloria Whelan

I picked up this book in the young adult section of the library. It was super short - 136 pages. I knew it would be a quick read and hopefully a good one. While it was a short read, it lacked excitement. The idea behind the book was good - a corrupt government in Argentina, but the book fell flat. The writing style was of interest as each chapter was intended to be a letter between siblings. More than anything, I think I realized that while a book might have conflict, without action, the conflict doesn't go far.
