OLDER FICTION
Lyons, CJ

Broken

(4) YA Scarlet knows that Long QT Syndrome, which causes her heart to beat abnormally, will kill her--and soon. Still, she convinces her stepmother to let her attend high school; her first week brings bullies, friends, and a life-changing revelation. Lyons's high school stereotypes--like the football-playing meatheads--make the novel less credible, but otherwise, it's a thoroughly suspenseful medical thriller.
