The Library Book Challenge wasn't working for me. . . but I think I found a book that I'm actually excited to finish.
The Butterfly Clues by Kate Ellison
Penelope "Lo" Main has always loved to collect beautiful things.
But in the year since he brother's death, Lo's hoarding has blossomed into a full-blown, potentially dangerous obsession. When she discovers a beautiful antique butterfly figurine and recognizes it as having been stolen from the home of a recently murdered girl known as Sapphire, Lo becomes fixated.
As she attempts to piece together the mysterious "butterfly clues", with the unlikely help of a street artist named Flynt, Lo quickly finds herself caught up in a seedy, violent underworld--a world much close to home than she ever imagined.
Have I read a mystery yet, let alone a MURDER mystery??! I'm only on page 33, and so far I wouldn't suggest it for younger kids. There's just a lot of violent/mature stuff going on, you know. So the Butterfly Challenge--read this book in 5 days! We'll see. . . *strokes imaginary beard*
