Sadie has found someone that knows her father. Marlee has known him for a long time because her brother was friends with Sadie's father. Even though they were many years apart they still were close. After high school they didn't see each other much but they reconnected after many years and they ended up living with each other for awhile. Marlee thought that he had changed but he never did. He just got better at hiding who he really was. Sadie really needs help to find her father and she thought Marlee was the one to help her but she isn't doing much because she doesn't want to get involved with anything because she has a kid now. But Sadie is still trying to get something useful out of her.

The main conflict in this story is Sadie. She left her home in Cold Creek to try to find the man that killed her sister which she believes is her father. She has a hard time communicating with people because she has a stutter so people don't take her seriously and they view her as a kid even though she's almost 20. This has been a huge problem because people aren't helping her when she needs it the most and it is making her rethink her decisions of trying to find the man that killed her sister but she doesn't want to give up.

# data[].attributes.body
The author has created a lot of suspense by the way she changes perspectives. Whenever something happens to Sadie the author changes perspectives back to May Beth or West to create suspense. The author adds flashbacks to see how Sadie's life was before everything crazy happened and it shows how she's grown and why she's doing the things she's doing. The dialogue Courtney Summers uses is really cool. She sues like a question and answer type system to show how everyone in Cold Creek is taking in Sadie's disappearance.

Reading Response Question 3 is asking if the narrator's in this story are authentic and believable. I think yes and no. There is more than one narrator in this book and they're all different. The two main narrators are West McCray; a popular radio personality, and Sadie Hunter; a teenage girl from Cold Creek who lost her sister. I think that West is more reliable in this story because she has no reason to be bias unlike Sadie. West is just trying to get to the bottom of Sadie's disappearance and to make a podcast out of it. Sadie on the other hand has many reasons to be bias. Her sister was killed by a man who got away and now she's trying to find him. Her actions could be portrayed by the anger she has kept inside of her and it could cause her to do and say some questionable things that aren't very reliable. In this book there are definitely more window scenes than mirrors. I can't relate to losing my sister, or having a mom that chose drugs over me, or having my dad leave at a young age, or having to care for a sibling. This makes it hard to relate to the story but it also teaches me about how Sadie has to live.

Sadie is now on the hunt for her sister's killer. She left Cold Creek, bought a car and is now on her way to find things that can help her along her journey.

The scene that I ma describing is kind of a stretch but it is visiting small towns. The people the run the podcast have a show where they go to small towns and interview the people that live there. When I go to small town I don't interview people but I do visit small towns. When I go to my grandparents house we go to a small town. Where they live, there is only 1000 people at the most that live there so I know how different it us to come from the Chicago area to a super small town just the like interviewers came from New York to Cold Creek.

# data[].attributes.body
The scene that I am describing is living in a super small town. I know I don't live a a super huge town but Cold Creek, Colorado has a population of 800. I have no idea what it feels like to know everyone in your town, and the nearest school from my house is 2 minutes away, when in Cold Creek they have to drive 45 minutes to go to school. It would be tragic if someone young passed away in Palatine but in Cold Creek where there is only 800 people, having a young girl pass away and her sister go missing soon after is something far more than just tragic. This, I can't relate to.

I just started reading "sadie" but it is already an interesting book. It starts of with a 13-year old girl being found dead by a school house and an apple orchard. The case goes cold because the fire ruined all of the evidence and took away any chance of there being DNA left at the scene. There were people from a podcast interviewing citizens from small towns when they heard about the murder, they didn't think anything of it though because we live in a world with many tragedies and it's hard to avoid them all. 3 months later the people from the podcast are back in New York doing their jobs when one of them gets a call about a missing teen. They were just going to ignore it but then they realized it was Sadie Hunter, the sister of the girl who passes away. They don't think it could be a coincidence so now they're trying to help the community.

The book Dead Girls Don't Lie is definitely in my top 3 favorite books. Each chapter leaves you wanting to read more. So many new things and people come into the story and you don't know whats going to happen. There are so many plot twists and the unexpected happens. It's about a girl named Jaycee who received a text from her ex-best friend, Rachel, and they weren't on the best terms when she passed away. The only thing that Jaycee has left of her was that text she sent before she passed away. Jaycee used that text to her advantage and started digging into anything and everything that could be connected to her death to try to bring the terror to an end. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves mystery and to anyone who loves new things happening in the blink of an eye.

Jaycee went to Rachel's old house to clean up the yard after if got vandalized when Rachel was killed. When she was there she went inside to talk to her mom because they were best friends. After they talked for awhile Araceli (the mom) went upstairs to take a nap. Jaycee took advantage of this moment and went up to Rachel's room which was trespassing but she didn't care. She found a picture frame that was un-centered and went to move it but 3 video chips fell out. She watched them all and they were conversations with Rachel and different people. She knew they were important but she couldn't figure our why then and there because she heard someone coming and she didn't want to get caught.

Jaycee found Rachel's work from the class she had with Evan. She saw that the main pictures on it was her on a bench and Evan Cross right in the middle so she knew it had something to do with them. She went to the priest to ask where the bench was and he told her where. When she got there she realized that there were names with each other on the bench. She started looking for Manny and Rachel because they were together at the time. When she finally found it, it was crossed out. That meant someone was mad about them being together.

Jaycee was noticing that all of the football players had their jersey number carved into their backs or their chest. She asked Skyler why and he said it was a football thing called making the cut. That is what was written on the note Rachel had in the cross and so Jaycee is coming to the conclusion that her death or Manny's has something to do with the football team.

When Skyler left she was just going through the pictures and them she saw one of Rachel's bedroom at the crime scene. She was trying to get a better look at them but then he came back in and she had to act normal. She was very weirded out though and it brought new ideas to her mind.

Jaycee was with her "boyfriends" brother which caused a little problem but that's not what helped her out. she found out that Rachel had a class with Evan Cross (who she used to liked) and she figured out that they worked on a project together. She said she needed to find out what the project was on so it could help her out. This affected the plot and characters because Jaycee felt betrayed. Rachel knew that Jaycee like Evan but she still worked on a project with him and Rachel didn't tell her. She couldn't worry about that though because there were bigger problems. There had to be a reason that she would put Evan front and center on her project and this affected the plot bu Jaycee having doubts about who the Cross family really is.

Jaycee remembered about a cross that Rachel and her had in elementary school and she went to go look for it. It was in the fireplace back in their old school and when Jaycee got there other people were looking for things too. She didn't think anything of it but she thought back to the video and she got back to the part where Rachel said "The answer is in the cross." She pried the cross open and there was a note that said "making the cut" Jaycee didn't know what that meant but she had to figure it out. This was the first turning point in the story that really tested how Jaycee would deal with the clues and the "scavenger hunt" that Rachel has set out for her. This also showed how much Rachel trusted Jaycee because they weren't friends at the time of Rachel's death but she is literally putting her life on the line and is trusting Jaycee to find out what really happened.

# data[].attributes.body
Tell me about the conflict of the book. Are there many conflicts or one main conflict? Does the conflict affect the characters or plot? How? - The main conflict in the book is Rachel; Jaycee's friend passing away. This has been a big part of the story because before Rachel died she made a video with clues to help Jaycee find out what happened. Now Jaycee is going through so much to try and find out what happened to her friend. There are some other mini conflicts in the story like her having to choose between two boys, her breaking her ankle, and he getting threatened which I feel will turn into a big conflict later on. The conflict definitely affects the characters and plot because the conflict is the main part of the the story. Jaycee used to mind her own business and stick to her fathers rules but with the clues shes been given she's been doing things that her father doesn't approve of and shes been putting herself in danger.

The scene that I am describing is doing things you don't want to do. Jaycee got grounded for doing things she wasn't supposed to do so her punishment was working outside in her yard. When I get on trouble my parents usually make me do the dishes or vacuum while I don't have my phone so I know what it feels like to do things that you don't want to do.

Jaycee was grieving the loss of Rachel but then she got a text from her. She thought it was her and she thought she was alive but it was a voice recording sent from someone else. She watched it and it gave her clues to what can help find out what happened to Rachel. This is affecting the plot because everyone thought Rachel was dead and they thought the case of her death was going to go cold because it was just a drive by. The video that was sent to Jaycee could've helped the case but Rachel specifically said not to go to the cops because they can't be trusted. This brought a lot of suspicion to Jaycee and it made her confused because she thought the cops could be trusted.

I think this means that she is coming to the conclusion that she will be like her grandma, stuck behind a window, and not accomplishing anything in her life. It says that she is "talking to the trees" which means she has no one to talk to and she is "learning out of her window imagining something she cant see" which is showing that she has high expectations for herself but she doesn't think she can live up to them.

I think that the witch lady sees jealousy and sorrow in Esperanza's cards because shes jealous of the special kids.

I would say that the name calling is joking because once you get to be friends with people your sense of humor changes and that's when you start to be funnier and maybe start to call each other names. But I feel like Esperanza doesn't understand because shes never had many friends before. In the book it says "You better not be talking like that else you can say goodbye to being my friend forever." Which shows she doesn't really understand but I feel like she will get it soon.

The author used the phrase fancy chandelier so we can learn how Esperanza's great-grandfather views her great-grandmother. We learn that he loved her and really wanted to marry her. He values her and sees her as a delicate, elegant, desirable woman. The message would have been significantly different if the author said, “As if she were a sack of potatoes.”

I can relate to all of them in different parts of the story because they all are teenagers that go through many things. They definitely are authentic and believable because they're showing their point of views and saying everything that goes on in their lives. In this story there are more mirrors than windows and I think this because they're all teenagers and I can relate to them because we're close and age and at this age we all go through similar things with friends and family.

She isn't necessarily going down the same path but she is changing for the worse again. The direct quote is when Phoebe says "I'm going, and don't come looking for me."

The Reading Response Question that I chose  to write about was reviewing the book so far. If I had to give a review on this book I would give it a 5/5. The topic is so interesting if you love mystery like me. The story line keeps you intrigued throughout the whole book and I love that there are multiple perspectives because you get to see the story from so many different views and you get to see so many different lifestyles that you wouldn't see in a book that has one main character. Each character plays such a huge part in the book and you never know what is going to happen. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone I know.

The scene that I am describing is when Brandon's family moves. I have never moved before so I can not relate to this but I know that it must've been hard for him and his family to leave the place that they have known and lived in forever.

The scene that I am describing is a family gathering. In the book Knox's family had a gathering for a birthday and they played all these family games and had traditions that they do for birthdays. I can relate to this because not only does my family get together for birthdays, we also have special traditions that we do to celebrate.

The past 40 pages Phoebe hasn't been shown so I cant really determine if shes changing or not. I've only heard from Knox and Maeves perspectives for the past couple "chapters" but they are talking about Phoebe and have been saying that she is doing good and is being a great friend. The direct quote is when Knox said "I never knew how much of an impact that girl would make on me."

Did I Meet My Goal?: Yes

# data[].attributes.body
I chose this goal because for the past couple days I have been able to stay focused for the whole time I am reading and so if I can stay focused I should be able to read more pages so I put read at least 30 pages for my goal.

An interesting topic in my book so far is the Truth Or Dare game. The whole story has been revolving around it for the past 150 pages. It is an anonymous texter that reveals secrets or gives dares to people. It has impacted the story substantially because it has ruined friendships, made families grow apart, and just now has caused death. The suspicion around this, is that no one knows who runs it and it has progressively gotten worse over time. I really want to know who runs it because it would solve many problems and we would be able to find out how the person is getting the secrets from people.

The scene that I am describing is when Knox, Phoebe, and Maeve find a video that might help with the murder mystery of Brandon but they keep it private. I obviously have some secrets that my friends and I know but definitely not ones that would be a crime. They're keeping the video confidential and not showing anyone else because then teachers and parents would know about the Truth or Dare game and they don't want that to happen. This is something I cannot relate to because I've never been in the situation where I have been involved with something that has to do with the authorities.

The scene that I am describing is a baseball game. A few of the former and current high school kids went to a college baseball game to support one of their friends and they were right behind home plate. My grandparents have season tickets to the MLB and so sometimes when I am with them we get to go behind home plate and I can relate to the experience.

The main conflict in this story is the texting game; Truth Or Dare. It is where an anonymous texter texts a person from Bay View High and they either chose Truth Or Dare. if they do dare then nothing happens but if they chose truth then the texter reveals a secret. Also, if they don't respond within 24 hours than the texter reveals a secret. So far this conflict has been a big part in the story because it ruined friendships, families, and hurt many people. There are also many smaller conflicts in the story like a kid passing away, a father dying, someone losing their job, and many other things that just affect one character because in this story there are many different point of views.

The scene that I am describing is feeling so bad in your head that it affects how you feel physically. Sometimes if I am having a bad day or doing something that I didn't want do do my mental state affects my physical health. When Maeve was so sad about what happened to Knox she just sat at the cafe and didn't eat or do anything because of how she felt and I can most definitely relate to that.

# data[].attributes.body
The scene that I am describing is a death. I myself have been fortunate enough to not experience a friend or loved one but in One Of Us Is Next one of the characters old friends passed away. The in the stage of grief where she doesn't really know how to feel.

In the past 50 pages Phoebe has changed dramatically. She has found new friends ans started to not hang out with the people who made her do bad things. But a lot of stuff happened to her too so I wouldn't be surprised if she acted out. Her ex boyfriend died traumatically and that probably will affect her. The direct quote is "I'm so glad I reconnected with them. They were all I had, and now they're mine again."

So far in the story Phoebe has changed a little. She hasn't been talking to any boys and her sister and her are on better terms. The direct quote is "I turned off my notifications, hoping I can change."

I think that the Truth Or Dare account will reveal a huge secret about Maeve and I think that the secret will be that her Leukemia is back. There has been signs of it coming back but no one knows and she hasn't told anyone. But I think that the Truth or Dare accounts found out because they know everything.

The scene that I am describing is at the small cafe in town. Our friends in Wisconsin own a small cafe and when we're with them we always work at the cafe and get to see all of our friends that live there.

# data[].attributes.body
The scene Im describing is when Maeve is in the bathroom with a bloody nose and is freaking out because the last time she had a bloody nose it was a relapse of her Leukemia. This is very unfamiliar to me because I have never had cancer and I learned that she has had to deal with cancer 2 times and I learned the struggles she had to go through along with how she gets scared over little things because they can lead to big things for her.

The scene that I am describing is when Brownwyn came back from college to spend time with her family. I can relate to this because some of my cousins are in college and when they come back to visit we always have a great time.
