I Know You Did It

(7 reviews with an average rating of 5 out of 5)

Publisher: Scholastic

When Ruby joins a new school, she's hoping for a fresh start – and that no one will know she was involved in a little girl's death many years ago.

But when someone leaves the message 'I know you did it' on her locker, Ruby knows she's not going to be able to move on easily... and things just get even more difficult when students at her school start dying. Are they accidents, or is something more sinister going on? And is Ruby being framed for murder?

I Know You Did It is a fantastic, gripping crime thriller from Sue Wallman which never lets up in pace and excitement – young readers will tear through its pages.

With a cast of brilliantly drawn characters, it's easy to get sucked into the mystery of what's going on at Robinson Academy, but there are plenty of twists, turns and surprises to keep you guessing.

Ruby's past is deftly handled, mixing her feelings of guilt with her anger about how she's been treated, and her blossoming relationship with fellow student Euan adds a cute romantic angle, too.

It all builds to an electrifying climax that will have you holding your breath as you read... Will Ruby make it out alive?

Parents and teachers may wish to note that the misuse of steroids is mentioned in the story.
