Keeper
Keeper by Kathi Appelt
To ten-year-old Keeper the moon is her chance to fix all that has gone wrong ... and so much has gone wrong.
But she know who can make things right again: Maggie Marie her mermaid mother, who swam away when Keeper was just three. A blue moon calls the mermaids to gather at a sandbar, and that's exactly where Keeper is headed- in a small boat. In the middle of the night, with only her dog BD, (best dog) , and a seagull named Captain. When the riptide pulls at the boat, tugging her away from the shore and deep into the rough waters of the Gulf of Mexico , panic sets in and the fairy tales that lured her out there go tumbling into the waves. Maybe the blue moon won't sparkle with mermaids and maybe -- oh no... "Maybe" is just to difficult to bear.
I love the book trailer, it just layers question mark after question mark, and leaves you curious for more.
Missing
Missing by Catherine MacPhail
Maxine's parents have had to do perhaps the worst thing possible: confirm the identity of her brother Derek's body by the clothes he was whereing went he disappeared. So the who was missing is now officially dead. But then the worst possible thing really happens: Maxine receives a telephone call from somebody saying he is her brother. She can hardly believe her ears. Has Derek come back from the dead? In this pacy triller, the author manages to confront many issues - how differenet people deal with grief, the very under-rated effect of severe bullying at school and sibling rivalry - all in a fast paced compelling narrative voice.
I thought comparable titles would be: My sister's keeper and Buried.
