YA
In the not-too-distant future, children are sent to workhouses to pay off their families' debts. Thirteen-year-old Matt is taken to one; he's categorized as a "Top Floor" and lives relatively comfortably. However, things don't turn out to be as great as they seem. There's a good amount of suspense throughout the story, but it's resolved a little too neatly.

YA
Brittany, a cellist, envies her outgoing best friend, Amanda, star of the school play. When the girls receive threatening notes, Brittany is determined to unmask the menace. What will she do if the guilty party turns out to be her (and the play's) leading man? Though the dialogue is hackneyed, the story does offer some light suspense.
