My Life and Death by Alexandra Canarsie

(4) YA From her hobby of attending strangers' funerals, new kid Allie Canarsie begins investigating a boy's drowning death. Meanwhile, her perspicacious English teacher looks past Alexandra's sarcastic mouth to try to rescue her from her destructive anger at her deadbeat dad. The book can't decide between being a problem novel or a murder mystery, but Allie's great voice and smart characters are a winning combination.
