The Lovely Bones

During this semesters SSR time I've read probably about three books but the one that kept my attention the most was The Lovely Bones. Its about a little fourteen year old girl who was murdered by a neighbor. We know who did it but her family does not. Suzie Salmon, the girl that was murdered is stuck in between. She is not exactly in heaven yet but almost. Being in the "in between" or whatever you want to call it allows her to somehow still communicate with her friends and family and still watch over them. She tries and leaves clues to lead her family closer to her murderer. After Suzie's death the Salmon household seemed to turn to chaos. The alcoholic grandmother comes to visit, her younger sister Lindsey finds love for the first time, her mother and father are slowly drifting apart and much more that I won't give away. Suzie just stays in her own personal heaven watching everything from above. Want to know if her case is solved? You should read the book. I would reccomend it to anyone.
