I
have decided this year to use the theme "Something Old,
Something New" to choose books for my weekly blog. This will
give me an opportunity to catch up on some of the books already in
the Lakeview IMC collection that I haven't read yet as well as talk
about some of the new books we are working to get ready.
Starting
with something old, I just finished reading Accomplice by Eureann
Corrigan. This realistic fiction book poses the question "Have
you ever done something that seemed so simple, but became so
complicated?" Two New Jersey high school girls, Finn and Chloe,
learn from the school counselor that it is very difficult to be
accepted by east coast colleges unless there is something
extraordinary about you. The girls decide that they will fake Chloe's
disappearance and possible kidnapping and Finn will find and rescue
her. While Chloe hides out in Finn's on-vacation grandmother's
basement, Finn pretends to be upset by her best friend's
disappearance. Finn finds the charade harder and harder as time goes
on and the disappearance case becomes national news. Even being
interviewed for a TV show doesn't make Finn's job any easier. When a
fellow student is questioned by the police as a person of interest,
Finn is ready to confess all. Chloe keeps Finn on the original plan,
but can the girls continue on their timetable and complete the
rescue?
