Living Dead Girl



Living Dead Girl by Elizabeth Scott
Teen Zone Fiction-Main Level – SCOTT


Living Dead Girl is a very chilling novel by Elizabeth Scott, narrated by a 15 year girl named Alice. Alice has spent the past 5 years in captivity after being kidnapped on a school trip. Alice obeys everything Ray says and lives in constant fear that he will make good on his word and harm her family. She is the second girl that has been kidnapped by Ray and she knows that the first one was murdered when she outgrew her child like body at the age of 15 and now Alice kind of wishes her own end would come soon. Ray has another idea in mind, he wants Alice to find her replacement and teach her all the things that he enjoys. Then they can live as a happy family. The story is a very quick read (170 pages) and quite disturbing but is hard to put down because once you meet Alice you want to see if she becomes free. The story seems like it could be taken from real life similar to the stories of Jaycee Dugard and Elizabeth Smart.
