there were several aspects of this book that I found incredibly annoying there are so many toxic adults in this book and it was so frustrating to see their interactions with our main character
Deep and dark and dangerous (2007)
Ali goes on vacation in maine with her aunt dulcie, and her baby cousin emma. soon emma and ali meet a sassy girl named sissy, who is a bad influence on emma. Sissy keeps talking about a girl named teresa, who drowned back when claire, Ali's mom, and dulcie were little kids, and whose body was never found. At first Ali thinks that sissy is just trying to scare her and emma, but soon figures out why Sissy is so angry.
Review 1 of 3
These books tend to have a lot of good humor and the mystery in this one was really good. I also really like that it has some great representation for a depressed parent, which isn't something you really see too much in fiction.
