Fade to Black, by Alex Flinn (NEW YA Fiction)
by Monica, 11th grader
Alex Crusan is an HIV-positive teenager who just wants to be normal. Clinton Cole, newly popular, wants nothing more than for Alex to get out — fast. When Clinton's sister starts befriending the Crusans, Clinton is desperate. But desperate enough to smash Alex's car, with Alex inside? Now the town of Pinedale, Florida, has a criminal investigation on its hands. Three stories, one truth.
I randomly picked this book from the shelves, and I wasn't disappointed. It is a mystery novel at the surface, but it is also the story of tolerance and conscience. Everyone must do what they think is right. Little things make all the difference.
Try this book!
