A YA Thriller of Sorts
I wasn't expecting this novel to have such a "thriller" bent to it, but I was surprised to see how the novel unfolded.  Our main character, Ella, lost her family to a fire at a very young age, and she has been taken in by her extended family.  Over time, and with the help of a tenacious journalist, she learns that "death by fire" might not be the exact truth.<br /><br />This is a fairly fast-paced novel with interesting characters.  There is a bit of a twist and strange evolution to the story that does keep you reading.  If you're looking for something with a bit of mystery and the thriller aspect, this would be a perfect fit.
