YA
Orca Soundings series.
When Mac gives away her most valued possessions and disappears, Daniel knows she's in trouble. Daniel deduces her location (a little too quickly), and with his mom's help, finds Mac hanging by a rope. Her attempted suicide--the final event in this quick read--is gratuitously graphically detailed. However, the story will educate readers about suicide warning signs.
