Littlefield, Sophie Hanging By A Thread, 270 p. Delacorte
(Random), 2012. Language: R (21
swears, and 6 ‘f’); Violence: PG (visions of death, struggles); Mature Content:
PG-13 (teen drinking).
After 6
years, Clare and her mother are back in their hometown. The past two summers have had the town
on alert, as a little boy was killed and then the next summer a teenager
disappeared. Clare has secrets of
her own – when she touches a garment, she can feel strong emotions attached to
it, and many times she receives visions.
When she picks up a tattered denim jacket, she feels when the missing
girl died and now she has to decide whether to get involved – and how.
Littlefield does a good job of
integrating the supernatural into the mystery, and includes a hot, if trouble,
possible boyfriend for Clare, too.
With a little editing, this could have had a much larger audience.
