YA
Fifteen-year-old Mira longs to know more about her father. She starts snooping, finds him, and arranges to meet him. Within hours of contacting him, Mira's dog is killed and her house is broken into. Readers will whip through this hard-to-put-down novel, drawn along by its suspense and intrigue.

YA
In Plummer's smart, witty, and affecting novel, fifteen-year-old Hannah imagines how gentle and concerned her boyfriend will be when she tells him she's pregnant; instead, he punches her in the face and calls her a whore. A distinctive character, Hannah is an intriguing mix of childishness and sophistication, and her dry wit and unique perspective save her story from becoming just another morality tale.
