I have two books I can't recommend enough.
1. 'The Westing Game' by Ellen Raskin. This is probably one of the best (and funniest) mysterys I have ever read. The characters are well formed, and Turtle is a riot.
2. 'Awake and Dreaming' by Kit Pearson. I love this book so much, because you really get to care about Theo and what happens to her. I also love Cecily, because when she was a little girl she sounded just like me. And the very best part was Theo and Cecily's final conversation. What Cecily said about writers and writing was BANG ON. However, I must warn you that this book can get rather angsty at parts.
