About this listen
Winner of the 2019 Odyssey Award
Winner of the 2019 Audie Award for Young Adult Audiobook
An innovative audiobook production featuring more than 30 voices, Sadie explores the depth of a sister's love - poised to be the next story listeners won't be able to pause.
A missing girl on a journey of revenge and a Serial-like podcast following the clues she's left behind.
Sadie hasn't had an easy life. Growing up on her own, she's been raising her sister, Mattie, in an isolated small town, trying her best to provide a normal life and keep their heads above water.
But when Mattie is found dead, Sadie's entire world crumbles. After a somewhat botched police investigation, Sadie is determined to bring her sister's killer to justice and hits the road following a few meager clues to find him.
When West McCray - a radio personality working on a segment about small, forgotten towns in America - overhears Sadie's story at a local gas station, he becomes obsessed with finding the missing girl. He starts his own podcast as he tracks Sadie's journey, trying to figure out what happened, hoping to find her before it's too late.
Courtney Summers' Sadie is propulsive and harrowing and will keep listeners riveted until the last track.

There are no more cheerleaders in the town of Sunnybrook. First there was the car accident - two girls dead after hitting a tree on a rainy night. Not long after, the murders happened. Those two girls were killed by the man next door. The police shot him, so no one will ever know his reasons. Monica's sister was the last cheerleader to die. After her suicide, Sunnybrook High disbanded the cheer squad. No one wanted to be reminded of the girls they'd lost.

She’s always had a special connection to the place, even before she was old enough to attend. The camp is the lifeline of Roxwood, the small town she lives in. Alpine Lake provides jobs, money and prestige to the region. Few Roxwood locals, though, get to reap the rewards of living so close to the glam summer that camp, with its five-figure tuition and rich kids who have been dumped there for eight weeks by their powerful parents. Goldie's one of them.

What the critics say
"A haunting, gut-wrenching, and relentlessly compelling read. Sadie grabs you and won't let you go until you've borne witness." (Veronica Roth, number-one New York Times best-selling author of Carve the Mark and the Divergent series)
"An electrifying thriller, taut as a bowstring. A coming-of-age tale, both gritty and sensitive. A poignant drama of love and loss. This - all this - is Sadie: a novel for readers of any age, and a character as indelible as a scar. Flat-out dazzling." (A.J. Finn, number-one New York Times best-selling author of The Woman in the Window)
"Courtney Summers's powerful story of love, neglect, abuse, and revenge is narrated with irresistible urgency by Rebecca Soler and Dan Bittner, along with an ensemble of supporting narrators...this is a production that will not be forgotten." (AudioFile Magazine, Earphones Award Winner)

Refreshing
I really liked the style of this one. The podcasting portion really reminded me of Someone Knows Something by David Ridgen. The narration for Sadie was excellent, though some of the podcasting narration broke the immersion when it sounded more like actors reading off a script.
Great ending!

Heartache and revenge
The story of Sadie told from herself and the PI tracking her movements months later was narrated very well. I enjoyed the switch between as you could see the story unfold from everyone's perspective.
A sad, but also triumphant story of a lost girl and her beloved sister.

A complete showcase of what an audiobook can really do
No spoilers I promise but I promise you Sadie takes you on a ride that you can’t stop listening to.
You get a lush tense tight experience with Sadie and then you get a full out podcast experience in the other half of the narrative. The full cast feels like a real true crime podcast.
The last 15 mins of this book, after spending a whole night shift enthralled and focused intently, my entire body erupted in chills I was desperate to get to the end.
Give it a go, I promise you’ll be cheering for Sadie like you haven’t rooted for a character in a long time.

My husband and I listened to this story on a road trip. The story was very interesting. When we got where we were going, we stayed in the car to hear the end of the book! #audible1

One of the best audiobooks I've read this year!
I felt like I was listening to a podcast and a story of an unfortunate girl just looking for revenge. Safe filled me with so much emotion and I love every bit. This was very executed both as a book and audiobook. I hope everyone could hear Sadie's story
