So, the mystery books have been VERY popular lately, so I decided to order some extra mystery books this month. Enjoy!
Deadly Pink by Vivian Vande Velde
Fourteen-year-old Grace must find a way to get her older sister out of a
princess-filled virtual reality RPG (role playing game)--before it is
too late.
My Family for the War by Anne C. Voorhoeve
Before the start of World War II, ten-year-old Ziska Mangold, who has
Jewish ancestors but has been raised as a Protestant, is taken out of
Nazi Germany on one of the Kindertransport trains, to live in London
with a Jewish family, where she learns about Judaism and endures the
hardships of war while attempting to keep in touch with her parents, who
are trying to survive in Holland.
Quarantine: The Loners by Lex Thomas
When a virus deadly to adults infects their high school, brothers David
and Will and the other students soon break into gangs that fight each
other for survival and the hope of escaping their quarantine.
Dear Blue Sky by Mary Sullivan
Ever since her brother
Sef left for Iraq, Cassie has felt like her life is falling apart. Her
parents are fighting over her brother having gone to war. Her smart,
beautiful sister is messing up. Her little brother, who has Down
syndrome, is pretending he's a Marine. And her best friend no longer has
time for her. In her loneliness Cassie turns to a surprising source of
comfort: Blue Sky, an Iraqi girl she meets through her blog. The girls
begin a correspondence and Cassie learns that when Blue Sky says "I want
my life back," she means something profound, as she can no longer
venture out in her destroyed city. Cassie takes strength from Blue Sky's
courage and is inspired to stop running away from the pain, and to
reclaim her life.
The Catastrophic History of You and Me by Jess Rothenberg
Just before her sixteenth birthday, Brie Eagan literally dies of a
broken heart when her boyfriend tells her he does not love her, and she
then must go through the five stages of grief, while watching her
friends and family try to cope with her death, before her faith in love
is restored and she can move on to the afterlife.
