The Possibility of Fireflies By:Dominuqe Paul

This book was amazing from cover to cover. It is a quick read, i read it in about 3 days. This book is about a 9th grade girl whose parent's recently got a divorce. Since their dad left Ellie's sister Gwen's personality has flip flopped. She does drugs, smokes and hangs with the wrong crowds. Another reason for that would be that their mom is "taking a vacation from parenting", she parties all night and often Ellie and Gwen are left out of the house.

Ellie is desperate to get away fro mher mother. In the end after Gwen's been almost killed by their mother, Gwen runs away to New York. A couple hours later Ellie sets off for her Dad's house hoping he will want her there. When she gets there her Dad starts crying for her mother stopped him from seeing her and Gwen about 2 or 3 years ago. This book was not what i expected, but it was amazing anway.

The Night My Sister Went Misssing By: Carol Plum-Ucci

Who shot Casey Carmody?

A pistol shot, a teenage girl falling from an abandoned pier, a police interrogation, Coast Guard searches. Casey Carmody is missing. Was she shot? Is she playing a practical joke? Where is her body?
Seventeen-year-old Kurt Carmody, Casey's older brother, tells the police he heard Casey laugh after the sound of the gunshot, but testimonies differ and no one heard a splash. As Captain Lutz says, "We've got no body, no blood, and a whole lot of people claiming to have heard a pistol shot from a gun no one claimed to fire."
The teens at the scene were the Mystic Marvels, residents of Mystic Island, a small beach community on an island barely wide enough to be inhabitable. These high school students are "not too bad, not too good, not too smart, not too dumb, not too rich, not too poor, just 'marvy all around,'" as Casey would say. It seems as if the group is relatively inclusive, but it becomes apparent during the interrogation that this may be a witch hunt, a group's attempt to go after an outsider.
The witchy gossip and jealousies conspire against the reputation of Stacy Kearney, the new girl at school. Her too-sure-of-herself personality is just the kind that a coven of teenagers would like to bring down. And her family connections to old money in the town don't help. The conformist, group-minded Mystic Marvels don't marvel at Stacy; she is someone they love to hate. And it was Stacy who brought the gun to the party on the pier. What was the sense in that?
