full-ride (343 Pages)

I think I've read just about every book Margaret Haddix has written, starting with her Shadow Children series. This book follows Becca, a young girl  who is just finishing 8th grade. Her father has been arrested for bilking millions of dollars out of people and after a grueling trial, has been found guilty. His sentence is for ten years in jail. Becca and her mother are put into a witness protection program. Meanwhile, Becca is in her final year of high school and goes for a scholarship. In doing so, however, she must reveal some information from her past. Obviously this is a major block in her path. The book is a mystery and has an interesting outcome.

  1. I've been missing your posts, Lynn :) I really liked this book (enough) and think it is such a timely and interesting topic. I could imagine having lots of ethical/moral book discussions--related to current events/social studies topics--around this book.
