(4) YA After the death of her parents, fourteen-year-old Teddi moves in with next-door neighbor Mamie. When a pregnant woman arrives, claiming to be the wife of Mamie's son (killed two weeks earlier in a plane crash), Teddi smells a scam. Although readers will become impatient waiting for Teddi's suspicions to be validated, they'll sympathize enough with her character to keep reading.
