Another suspenseful book from prolific author Caroline B. Cooney. When a girl she had met at an inner-city church is murdered, fifteen-year-old Macey channels her grief into a school project that leads her to uncover prejudice she had not imagined in her grandparents and their wealthy Connecticut community. This is a book which caused me to reflect on the issue of prejudice.
Although I enjoyed Burning Up, the series The Face on the Milk Carton sremains my favorite book by Ms. Cooney. Fatality by the same author is on my summer reading list, as it has been recommended by one of my students. If you like Caroline B. Cooney, you'll also enjoy Lois Duncan.
