Knifepoint (Orca Soundings)
Grade 7–10—This book is a real thriller. Jill works on a ranch for the summer and she's just exhausted. Up at the crack of dawn, heavy manual labor, low pay, and job-shirking coworkers have pushed her to the breaking point. When she has an argument with her boss, she makes a bad decision and takes a cute guy on a trail ride without getting all the paperwork in order beforehand. He pulls a knife, and Jill's not sure that she can get out of this predicament—but she's going to use every ounce of her strength and all of her emotional resources to fight for her life. Easy to read and short, this page-turner will be in hot demand.—Susan Riley, Mount Kisco Public Library, NY(c) Copyright 2011.  Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
