This is Miss Jo with a great book you might want to check out: The Road of the Dead, by Kevin Brooks. If you like violence, suspense, and blood, you'll like this one.
Two brothers, Ruben Ford, 14 years old, and his older brother Cole, come from a gypsy home. Ruben can see things in his mind that have happened. He knows his sister has been murdered. The two brothers set out to find who murdered her, and to bring her body home.
Instead, all they find is corruption and violence. They do find her body, and find who was behind her murder. But there is a long, bloody road to travel before they reach home. Along the way, the discover the importance of family, and how much they need each other to survive this ordeal.
Kevin Brooks, the author, has written several more young adult books than this one. The library will try to get more later in the year, or you can request them through the library's Interlibrary Loan service. In the meantime, check this one out -- you won't be disappointed.
See you at the Library!
