What happened to Cass McBride?


Gail Giles writes masterful, suspenseful and thought provoking thrillers geared for teens. Kyle Kirby buries Cass McBride alive to seek revenge for her role in his brother, David's suicide. Told in chapters from alternating viewpoints -- that of Kyle, Cass, and a police detective, Ben, we come to learn what has pushed Kyle to this point. Is Cass guiltless or is her similarity to his mother what causes Kyle to go to this extreme? The author provides an excellent Reader's Guide in the back for discussion.
