Untraceable

Amani is ok with being the only big size, black girl in an all-white school, but then strange things start to happen, like some weirdo in their back yard and her mom acting very strange.  It only gets worse when their house burns down and she has to move away fast and she gets tossed into a school full of kids like her.  Worst of all since she is a late add to all her classes she ends up in average classes with stuff she learned years ago in her other school.  But then she meets the whirl wind brother and sister siblings who are actually old family friends the sister helps her fit in and get better classes and the boy is cute.  Amani doesn’t understand everything going on so she keeps investigating things and that brings danger right to their door and the people she thought were family and friends turn out to all have a big secret they never told Amani until now.

So much action, a lot of suspense, and some normal teen stuff thrown in for good measure.  This is such a good book I thought I was going back and reading book one but this is book two that takes place before book one and oh my gosh there is now a book 3, woohoo.  This is a book has a bit of something for everyone.  Chases, martial art of a kind, card adventure gaming, and good food.  I think anyone can find something to relate to in this book and even a reluctant reader might stay up past their bedtime.
