I'm afraid, but I can't call Mom or Dad, 'cause Jerry might wake up. If I try to tell Shannon, she puts a pillow over her head, 'cause she doesn't like to talk about Mr. Healy. She says remembering him makes her sad.
"Charlie," he whispers.
I'm afraid. In the dark night, I feel like I'm at sea, in that little boat Mr. Healy used to talk about. That's why I'm writing this down. If you're listening, I hope you'll listen close. I'm not making any of it up.
He whispers in my ear, "Watch out."
A new novel from a Newbery Honor author
Summer has just begun, and thirteen-year-old Charlie and her younger brother, Jerry, anticipate spending the lazy days roaming their working-class Baltimore neighborhood. That is, until Jim Chalmers, a strange man who used to live nearby, enlists their help in solving the murder of their neighbor Mr. Healy.
As Charlie learns more about Mr. Healy's death, she struggles to protect her innocent younger brother from the realities of gangs and drugs, and to help him make that difficult transition from childhood to adolescence.

In the Night, on Lanvale Street
Another good book by Conly. I am traveling with this author in a few months, so figured it would be smart to have read a few of her books. They have been good so far, so I have more on hold at the library.
Once again, Conly is writing about a neighborhood that is not well-off. There have been a lot of changes and the kids of the area have a better grasp of this than the adults. Drugs are moving in and with them trouble.
This book is aimed at younger folk and I think they would find it interesting. For the kids that use my public library, the worries in this book have not become prevalent. But issues of growing up are universal. So I would recommend this book to any tween.
