They All Fall Down

Gr 9 Up—Junior year promises to be life-changing for Kenzie Summerall. It's been two years since her brother's tragic death and her mother became seized with a fear of accidents, holding Kenzie practically hostage in her own home. It hasn't been too bad for Kenzie who has had less than a hopping social life until now. Now Kenzie is voted onto a list of the top 10 hottest girls in school. All of a sudden there are popular boys noticing her in the hall and parties to attend. It all seems like a harmless popularity game until the girls on the list start dying in their own tragic accidents one by one. It is up to Kenzie to determine whether it is simply a coincidence, a curse, or the act of a killer before it's too late. Part high school drama, part mystery, this fast-paced novel will appeal to a broad range of readers who will have a difficult time putting it down. The surprise discovery at the end begs for a sequel.—Betsy Davison, Cortland Free Library, NY
