“I read this years ago and really enjoyed it. I would like to re-read it to refresh my memory. It's a coming of age that turns into a mystery. I believe good portions of this book were written as letters to or from the main character. ”

“This is a great coming-of-age book. It ties in two stories that are many years apart, which I find interesting. ”

“A enjoyable story based on an actual murder. Labeled "Young Adult" but is PG-13 in some content.”

Her older brother has left and won't be coming back so it's up to her. Mattie has won a scholarship to college in New York but knows she won't be able to go. The second story involves a 19 year old girl who gives Mattie some letters to burn. The girl drowns and they are looking for her boyfriend but it seems he had used an assumed name and didn't die with her when the boat capsized.”

“Very good for historical fiction and parts of it is real. Very sad at parts but for the most part it is a good book.”
