Publisher's summary

On a sunny Friday afternoon, beloved teacher Mrs Walker and her eight-year-old son wave goodbye to their friends in the school playground. But they never make it home...

It’s only been a week, but the bright little faces at the picture-perfect school I’ve stepped into have captured my heart. Their big doe eyes, their paint-covered fingers and clinging hugs. They’ve been through so much, with their favourite teacher and classmate still missing...

I’m doing all I can to help them adjust, but I can’t avoid the swirling rumours that say Cate Walker’s charismatic husband, Oliver – our headteacher – is involved in her disappearance. The thought makes me shudder. But the more I find out about Cate, the more I wonder if she was also hiding a terrible secret...

I’m determined to uncover the truth about what really happened. I have to protect these other innocent children from the same fate – it’s my duty as their teacher.

That is, until an anonymous note turns up threatening me if I don’t stop looking. Until my home is broken into while I sleep.

I know the longer I stay here, the more danger I’m in.

But whoever’s trying to scare me doesn’t know who I am – or why I’m really here.

Or just how far I’ll go to protect the people I love...

Needed more than one narrator.....

Although I was intrigued by this book's "beloved teacher and her young son mysteriously disappear" premise, "The Teacher's Secret" failed to earn a top grade from me.
😭😭😭

WHY?

1) Lauren North is one of my favorite go-to authors and my expectations were sky-high.

2) The first portion of the book was fragmented and all over the place.

3) Although the last portion of the book was twisty and faster-paced than the book's lackluster beginning, the ending was contrived and waaay too convenient.

In her author's note, Lauren North mentioned that her books usually unfold from two POVs and this was her first book with multiple POVs.

Emma Woods did a superb job with the narration but since the book unfolded from multiple POVs, the audiobook would have benefited from a full-cast team of narrators.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
