I very much enjoyed Leslie Rule's nonfiction books so I was very excited to purchase Whispers from the Grave. Rule's imagination and voice didn't disappoint! Yes, it's written more for the teen mindset. Yes, some of it was predictable. But that didn't take away from the enjoyment of the read. ***SLIGHT SPOILER ALERT*** For instance, I loved how Jenna was sure her friend Suki had stolen her lip tint only to learn she'd projected it back to the past. I'd forgotten about the lip tint until Jenna found it. Those tiny details are what help make a story come more to life. The ones you let slip to the back of your mind but once reminded, you have that, "OH!" moment. I also loved how Ms. Rule weaved in the details surrounding how Jenna had a sister. Very inventive. And I LOVED how Leslie incorporated a women's lib issue into the story. Made me smile!***END SPOILER*** There were editing issues in the story, a few places where  the backslash (/) replaced the word I, etc., and I only mention those things so potential readers are aware of that up front. I refuse to dock a review simply because the book needed better editing. I enjoyed the story and my review is based on that enjoyment.
