Another great read from Ms. Bauer. Peeled is the story of Hildy Biddle, a high school reporter who is committed to discovering the truth and reporting it in a transparent and articulate way. In her town there are many family-owned and long standing apple orchards that are a source of great pride for her and her family. Lately though it seems that there is a mystery surrounding the Ludlow property, a house where a young girl once died and where people are now reporting ghost sightings. Then another death occurs on the property, and the local newspaper, The Bee, is drumming up the fear factor surrounding the death and supposed ghost sightings. Hildy and her friends at the high school paper, The Core, are determined to get to the bottom of the mysterious messages and rumored ghost sightings. There is some romantic element thrown in, but at the "core" of the story is Hildy's pursuit of the truth and her determination to become a top-notch reporter. I think this read is good for both girls and boys, and it was enjoyable to me as well, so adults will enjoy it too.
