BUYING ADVISORY: MS - ESSENTIAL
APPEALS TO: MANY
7th graders Dani, Kate, Liam, and Gabe are in trouble. Someone set a locker on fire and they were the first students called down to the office afterwards. Even if they didn’t do it, the rumor mill will peg them as the culprits. Dani and Kate used to be best friends, but they haven’t spoken to each other since school started. Liam is the new kid at school and he can’t figure out why no one wants to be his friend. Gabe is the 7th grade hot head and he would really like to be seen as innocent for once. Together the four decide that they are going to have to solve the mystery of the fire, because only they care about proving their innocence.
Benedis-Grab does such a great job of building suspense and allowing tidbits of clues through at a time. Even with four main characters, the story flows well and I felt I knew each student and what was going on with them. All four of Benedis-Grab’s books are worth having.
