Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Dominique

After calling the cops on a big party that results in several arrests, no one will talk to Melinda. Melinda herself barely talks. So why did she call the cops that night at the party? What makes her so silent now?

With no friends at school, Melinda is alone, but she does make a friend, Heather, who later ditches her for another group. Life at school is torture for Melinda every day—her former friends are now her enemies, and even those she didn’t know before hate her. The only person Melinda has at school is her kind art teacher. Through her art, she is starting to open up a little bit, but when will she speak out about what made her call the cops?

But when Melinda’s threat comes for a second visit, things will change in her life—but this time, will it be good or bad? What is the ‘it’ that Melinda fears so much?

Melinda’s feelings were wonderfully expressed and readers are on the edge of their seats as Melinda’s fearful summer is revealed, bit by bit. This book was full of suspense and was a good read!
