I couldn't put this book down!
Unspeakable Things tells the story of almost-thirteen-year-old Cassie, a whip smart girl who is struggling to hold on to the magic and wonder of childhood while it is being stolen from the boys around her. Determined to find out what is happening to these boys, Cassie uses the skills she learns from Charlies Angels and Remington Steele in her very dangerous hunt. Lourey captures the imagination, humor, bravery, and crushing pain of being thirteen. Her heroine is a spot of hope in a narrative that is filled with mystery, dread, and adults who won't face the truth. Lourey's storytelling keeps you turning pages well into the night.
