About the author

Janet Quin-Harkin is a pseudonym of Rhys Bowen

Rhys turned to writing children’s books under her married name, Janet Quin-Harkin. Her first picture book was an immediate success and won several awards. More picture books followed, then her agent asked her to write a book for young adults. This was a turning point in Rhys’s career. Her first young adult novel was an instant hit. By her third she was selling half a million copies. Many more popular YA novels followed until Rhys decided she had said all she wanted to say about teenage love and angst, and she turned her real love—mysteries.

I just started the book now,I'm on page 45. I think that the beginning was very interesting. It basically starts with the main character Kaitlin, and she's a bit nervous to go to school, so she decided to lie and say "My stomach really hurts!!" Kaitlin is starting 6th grade, and this is a new school for her, she moved from a city to a small town, which is different for her. I really think this book is really good. I don't think it was boring at all, I think that it was very interesting. I know that this book wont be boring, by looking in the beginning!
