Review: Wonderful sequel; a rare gem!

A well-plotted, well-polished indie book is a rare find these days, since Amazon and others make it so easy for ANYONE to publish any old piece of garbage. That's one of the reasons indie books are so often denigrated, and there is SOME truth to the criticisms... BUT you also have rare gems like this one (and Fran's first book, FINDING MY ESCAPE) that I would set up against ANY traditionally published book, even her books' covers. Fran's a professional, and it shows.This story is every bit as good as the first, and it keeps you guessing and on the edge of your seat, waiting to see what happens next. I don't want to give too much away in the review because there is a third book coming out that will tie everything up neatly (I can't wait for that!).Fran's characters are real, and their problems are engrossing. Written specifically for the YA market, this book will appeal to a wide range of ages, even the old folks like me. If you're looking to get lost in a good book for a few hours, you can't miss by picking this one up.
