The Lovely Bones
Author: Alice Sebold

This book is about a girl named Susie Salmon who was murdered when she was fourteen.  At the beginning of the book she tells in detail who murdered her and how everything happened.  She is now in heaven, and from there is watching how her family is trying to continue their life without her.  Her family and friends go through a lot of problems while grieving for her death and not knowing who killed her.  This is an amazing novel and keeps you hooked in the story.  As I was reading it I wanted to find out if her parents end up finding out who killed her.  You must read it to find out!
