(4) YA Straight-laced Parker loses focus on academia after she finds the diary of a locally well-known deceased teen. Parker skips class, takes impromptu road trips, and blows off a scholarship opportunity while pursuing the diary's ambiguous clues. The connection between Parker's tame adventures and her dramatic character transformation is weak, but the mystery of the diarist's troubled life and suspicious death is absorbing.
