It's Monday! What are you reading?

One of the best parts of running a book fair in our library is buying books for me to read!  I was in the mood for something spooky, so one of my picks was The Secret Grave by Lois Ruby. 
Hannah moves into a large, century-old mansion with her family of seven.  It's sometimes hard being the middle of five children.  As Hannah passes her twelfth birthday, she realizes that even her friends are going in different directions, and the loneliness sets in--until she meets Cady in the woods behind her house, on the path her father warned her to stay away from.  At first, Hannah is intrigued by Cady and welcomes her friendship, but as Cady becomes more and more possessive, Hannah starts to wonder about her strange new friend.  Then Hannah discovers a grave, and everything she thought she knew about Cady changes.

The Secret Grave is more than just a ghost story; it's about navigating the friendships of middle school, what friendship really means, and learning to stand up for yourself.

I'm scaring myself a little with a spooky book; what are you reading this week?
