More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This bestselling author explores the destructive nature of hatred, the crime of indifference, and the power of accepting love and responsibility.
Fifteen-year-old Macey Clare has always loved her quiet, beautiful Connecticut hometown. It's the place where her grandparents live, the place where her mother grew up. Macey is looking forward to the summer to come. She's hoping for fun and romance with her neighbor's perfect grandson Austin. But when Macey wants to research the facts behind who set fire to a barn across the street from her grandparent's home, she is shocked no one wants to answer questions about the place that burned down 38 years ago. And when a tragedy strikes a new friend who lives in the inner city, something clicks in Macey. She must discover her own true colors and face whatever it is she is going to find. Can she stand alone and take responsibility for the present while uncovering the past?

Format:Paperback
I loved this book! I'm a really big fan of hers and I thought it was definitely one of her better books (only topped by the Milk Carton series). It really makes you think about things, especially love and raceism.
Format:Paperback
This is a brilliant book and I really enjoyed it. It has turned out to be one of my favourite books, one of her best. I'd recomend it to anyone and my friends love it too!:)
Format:Paperback
I thought this book was really good, it deals with the issue of racism really well. I haven't liked all of C.B.C's books but this one was definately one of the best. It was realistic and although it was sad in places it is definately worth 5 stars.
