YA
Contemporary teen Lizzy Mortimer and her grandmother Bizzy, descendants of Morgan le Faye, have the ability to see death-specters of their loved ones. The tale's weaving in of Arthurian mythos is well done. Other plot twists seem superfluous, as does the book's framing device (the story is Lizzy's letter to her English teacher explaining why she should pass the class).

YA
When police suspect her father of murder, thirteen-year-old Ruby finds herself whizzing to Las Vegas to collect on a two-million-dollar bet with a mother she barely knows. Despite the supposed danger of the situation, Ruby's adventures in Sin City never feel quite menacing enough, but the superficial mayhem gives way to a more heartfelt depiction of family relationships.
