OLDER FICTION
Meyerhoff, Jenny

Queen of Secrets

(2) YA Essie doesn't tell anyone that the football team's "weird" kicker, Micah (an observant Jew), is her cousin. She reluctantly keeps quiet when others ridicule him--until one boy commits a shocking act of anti-Semitism. Meyerhoff captures the melodrama of adolescence with ease. Readers will readily recognize Essie's desire to fit in, along with the courage it takes for her to tell the truth.
