- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What a great book, has the mystery and suspense you want. Does not give away the who did it. When Rebecca's soon to be stepmother gets accused of something she didn't do it is Rebecca who takes it on herself to prove she is innocent. Then she had to get her father on her side. This book shows the determination of a young girl. It shows strong family bonds. How friends stick beside each other. A great read for anyone. I will recommend this book to everyone.
