I read little bits of everything. My mystery preference is cozy. I enjoy science fiction, but do not have a science background. And I'm a hobbit from wayback before I was old enough to vote.
Don't read this book if you only have a little time to devote. It'll suck you in... based on the song "Scarborough Fair" made popular by Simon & Garfunkel. Lucy Scarborough is a 17 year living with foster parents because her mom is crazy. It's hard to give a synopsis with giving too much away. Book is on Teen Top Ten Reads for 2009 for a reason.
