In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we're helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.

From the rear cover
It begins with a mystery. Sylvie, the beautiful, brilliant, successful older daughter of the Lee family, flies to the Netherlands to visit her dying grandmother--and then vanishes.
Amy Lee is too young to remember a time when her parents were newly immigrated and too poor to keep her sister. Seven years older, Sylvie was raised by a foreign relative and didn't rejoin her family in America until she was nine. Amy has always looked up to her fierce and loving sister. But what happened to Sylvie? When Amy retraces her sister's movements, instead of simple answers, she discovers something much more valuable: the truth. Sylvie, the golden girl, kept painful secrets . . . secrets that will reveal more about Amy's complicated family--and herself--than she ever could have imagined.
A deeply moving story of family, secrets, and identity, Searching for Sylvie Lee is a profound exploration of the many ways culture can divide us and the impossibility of ever truly knowing someone--especially those we love.
