When 15 year old Alice’s dad calls and tells her to grab a file and drive
his shiny red corvette to meet him, Alice hesitates.
She’s only 15 and not legally able to drive. Could he be serious? After thinking it over she decides he sounded
like he meant business. But after the
harrowing drive to meet him, Daddy never shows.
And the broadcast on the radio is saying her dad is dead…and Alice sent an email confession saying she killed him. What is going on? With the police, her mother, and all her
friends out to find her, Alice
begins the desperate search to uncover the truth and discover why her father
was killed and how to clear her name.
Content Notes:
If made into a movie this
book would be rated PG.
Teacher Notes:
As with most Caroline B.
Cooney books, this book is suitable for middle school kids and up. An interesting component to this book is how
the author writes the thoughts of the main character, Alice, and her internal conflicts as the story
continues. Students may want to take
notice of this as it helps the reader to understand how the main character
contributes to the plot of the story.
