Awesome!

Cici who is now 14 hopes to be accepted into the older group of kids on the island. However when she arrives on the island she discovers that Zoe had been murdered the summer before in a cottage. She also learns that the person who is in prison for murdering Zoe is her family cooks son which also happens to be the guy she has a crush ons brother. Cici is sure they got the wrong guy and when she starts finding clues she wished she never had. This mystery might just be linked to her family more than she ever thought it would. This is a great book. It is a page turner because you want to know what happens next very badly. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a great mystery!

Twisted Summer

Twisted Summer by: Willo Davis Roberts 6th Grade

Do you like murder stories? Or do you prefer mysteries? Well this new book Twisted Summer, is a mix of both murder and mystery. Don't worry though, it isn't scary for those of you who aren't into scary stories. I know what you're thinking right now what is the book about? And what kind of murder? If I read on will it give the book away? No, I hate when people give away a good story. When fourteen-year-old Cici comes back to Crystal lake after two years everything seems fine at first. Then the new maid tells Cici of a murder that a boy named Brian committed. Cici can't believe that Brian would murder anybody, so she and Brian's brother Jack get together and make a list. This list contains suspects, their opportunity, and why they would desire to murder a mischievous girl in her teens. When they find the list is gone, things start to seem more serious. Cici's grandmother died, the list is gone, and things were definently twisted. This book brings you to a stomach turning ending of truth. Since Cici and Jack had made the list everybody seemed to be a suspect. When Cici snuck into the judges office she found something very peculiar. In the Judge's ( the owner of the house) recordings of cash, she finds that each month for about one and a half years, the judge has been paying one thousand dollars cash to somebody for something. Then she hears the screen door open and hurries out of the office. The next day she remembers in horror that she left the list in the judge's office and hurries to get it only to find it was gone. Did the judge find it? Or was it the maid? This was my favorite scene in the book because it left me on a cliff hanger, and I like cliff hangers. I'm afraid I can't give away anymore because it would give the book away. Believe me the ending is a real surprise.

Good mystery, with a great story

This book was really fun to read. Throughout the book, Cici is trying to find out who killed a girl at the lake the previous summer. There are several suspects, and each of them, at one point or another, says something, or makes a comment, that would make one believe that that particular person was the murderer. Towards the end though, Cici zeroes in on one particular person, and with the help of Jack (a boy she likes), they finally find out who the murderer is. It's a surprise ending. This book was fun to read, and I really enjoyed it.






Twisted Summer Review

The book Twisted Summer by Willow Davis Roberts is about how a girl named Cici and how she spends her summer at Crystal Lake. Cici is fourteen and going on fifteen years old and is hoping to have a special summer at the lake, joining the big kids. Cici and her family have spent every summer at the lake, for as far back as she could remember, except for last summer. When they arrive at the lake, they find out that there was a murder at the lake, of a young girl, and Jack a boy 2 years older than Cici, his brother, Brody, had been convicted, and sent to jail. Cici cannot belive that Brody would do such a thing, and neither could jack, his mother, or some other residents at the lake. So Cici tries to discover what really happened. Their summer is then complicated with the illness and death on Cicis grandma Molly. The cottage they all stay in belonges to the Judge, Mollys second husbend. Molly's illness then helps Cici to make unexpected discoveries about the Judge, things that may or may not have information about the murder. It then becomes clear to her that she will be in mortal danger if she continues her investigation. Befor it is all solved, she finds she has matured and that she is now one of the big kids. I difinitely would recommend this book to people of all ages to read. It's an easy to read book, which has suspense, mystery and friendly characters. It also has a lot of drama and you will want to finish it quickly, to see what happenes at the end.

Suspense!

This book is for all those readers who love suspense! I had been out of touch with reading for a while, but I read Twisted Summer for a class. It is about Cici, a 14-year old girl who is about to have the summer of her life. She and her family missed going to their cabin at Crystal Lake in Michigan the summer before. She is now ready to pick things back up and maybe have a chance at romance with 17-year old Jack. After she gets there, changes have occured and she learns that Jack's older brother, Brody is in prison for murdering another girl at the lake. Jack and Cici both believe he's innocent and they begin to investigate. Cici is playing a dangerous game. Although she came to make Jack see her as one of the big kids, Cici is no longer the girl she came as. I could not put this book down. It had great character description. It definitely lives up to the title with all the twists and turns!
