Bob by Wendy Mass and Rebecca Stead

This story is for young children.  A bit of mystery as a young girl returns and finds a childhood friend.  Good for younger children.

Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta

I really liked this book.  It's set in Australia, about 8 hours away from Sydney.  Its' a great story and a big mystery follows Taylor.  She has limited memories of growing up.  Her mother is a drug addict.  There is a lot of personal pain from various characters.  Jonah, almost ended his own life, his father was physically abusive to his mother, brother and himself.  Jonah killed his father with a cricket bat to protect his family.  It's a good story.  Maybe too advanced for teens.  It's for someone who will commit to the story that is worth committing too.
