Laci: Inside the Laci Peterson Murder (St. Martin's True Crime Library) 18 reviews Michael Fleeman
St. Martin's True Crime, 2003
Terrific book with a tragic story
+ The forensic side of the investigation
This book is well written and can be read in a day or less. It is such a tragic story but one that needs to be told. Make sure you have a box of tissues handy because you will cry when reading much of the book.

Cinderellis and the Glass Hill (Princess Tales) 22 reviews Gail Carson Levine
HarperCollins, 2000
Shot, but funny it's Cinerella with a twist
+ Short, but funny it's Cinerella with a twist + Sweet and sure to be popular
