(4) 4-6 Macey, nicknamed Niner because she's missing a thumb, feels out of place in her adoptive family. While investigating a neighborhood mystery, Macey realizes everyone has secrets--and imperfect families. The novel deftly deals with adoption, race, and abandonment through a plot that will keep readers guessing (though the problem would have been solved up-front if Macey had just told an adult).
