Dead Girls Don't Write Letters by Gail Giles

Author: Gail Giles
Reading level: Young Adult
Publisher: Simon Pulse

Rated 8/10

 Fourteen-year-old Sunny is stunned when a total stranger shows up at her house posing as her older sister Jazz, who supposedly died out of town in a fire months earlier.

MY REVIEW
I liked this book, it was fast paced, and short for those that don't like long books. It was a little scary though,I could never imagine losing someone in my family and then have someone coming to me claiming to be them. I would have loved to read more into Sunny's story, about what happens after she gets the letter at the end,for a minute towards the end I was beginning to think Sunny did it all herself. Sunny gets a letter in the mail one day addressed to her and her family supposedly from her dead sister Jazz. The letter had said there was a mistake and Jazz had never died in the apartment fire. Soon her mom and dad are getting ready for Jazz to return home, but when she does it isn't Jazz. Sunny and her dad can automatically tell it's not Jazz,but Sunny's mom is beside herself with happiness. Sunny starts getting clues real quick on this imposter Jazz and learns the truth about the girl pretending to be her.
