"Foster" by Claire Keegan
In Foster by Claire Keegan, a little girl is sent to a neighbor's house because her mom is going to have a baby and cannot look after her. She likes the people who look after her but finds out that there are secrets to be kept. This is a short 92-page book that is okay. I thought it was pretty good. (Gerard's review, 4 stars)

"What Happened to the Bennets" by Lisa Scottoline
What Happened to the Bennetts by Lisa Scottoline is the story of a family whose daughter is fatally shot when two thugs hijack their car. The family is put into the FBI's witness protection program because Milo, the thug is after the father, who is a court reporter. The family grieves and two FBI agents live in a house next to where they are staying. Their friends and co-workers all wonder what happened to them and rumors begin to fly. The father, Jason, makes a shocking discovery and chooses to go get justice for his daughter on his own.
I liked this book a lot because it centered on a normal family who had their lives uprooted. A lot went on in this book which is filled with action and suspense. It even had a family dog in it which I thought was a nice touch. (Karen's review, 5 stars)

"This Time Tomorrow" by Emma Straub
In This Time Tomorrow, Alice's dad is very sick with tubes in him as she is on the verge of turning 40. She remembers the fun times she had with her dad. On her birthday, she wakes up back in time when she was 16 and her dad was healthy. This book could have been so much better if it was about Alice and her dad instead of time travel!
