Kids like this book more than adults. I think maybe "safe" thrillers for middle schoolers don't work so well for more sophisticated readers, so this book doesn't thrill me. Cary Amberson’s father is running for Governor of Texas, and for the first time, Cary is exposed to the lies and insults of a dirty political campaign. Just at a time when she needs him most, her boyfriend suddenly seems unsupportive. And suddenly she is aware that she is somehow involved in something more sinister

The author starts out really good by having a mysterious conversation with two men while Cary is watching. I like the whole set up of the book. Cary's dad is running for governor in Texas. And Cary is being threatened. The author gets straight to the point. The plot doesn't drag on forever. The book finishes very strong.
I really like Cary as a person. She's trying to do good. Even though she's a rich kid, she acts very nicely. It's almost as if she's a normal person who fits perfectl More...

it teaches you to not trust everyone because not everyone is good.

Read this like way back 6th grade. By then I was already hooked on watching horror movies, Spy thrillers and murder mysteries.
Looking back at this moment, I could have rated this a 3.5 star or maybe a 4. But, seeing as it was a bit cliche and very predictable, I think I will settle for a 3.
