Summary: Wanted!
Comment: "Wanted!" by Caroline B. Cooney is a fast, action-packed book similar to a movie. If you like murder mysteries, full of suspense, then you'll definately love this book. This book involves car chases, threatening phone calls, and the fear of not knowing what or who is going to strike in the next sentence. Alice Robie lives with her divorced father, while her mother lives in another section of town. One day Alice receives a strange phone call from a man, who claims to be her dad. It doesn't sound much like him, but she believes him. He tells her to meet him at their favorite ice cream shop along the Salmon River, in Connecticut. He also gives her careful instructions to take the Corvette, her father's prized possession. Alice is very suspicious, as her father would NEVER let her drive the Corvette before this point in time, even if she had had her driver's license, which she does not. Just as she is about to get into the shiny red Corvette, she hears the condo's front door unlatch and open with a shove. It sounds as if something heavy is being dragged across the floor, and then there is a yell, and a THUMP!, and silence. She quickly crawls underneath the Corvette as the sound of feet approach the one-car garage. She waits and hears some noises, like the sound of keys on a keyboard being pressed, some feet, and then the front door shuts, and she hears a car pulling away. Alice quickly opens the garage door and pulls the red Corvette out onto the street, knocking over a neighbor's clay planter. She arrives at the ice cream shop, which is now closing up for the day, the time being 5:00 PM. Alice, in a frenzy, turns on the radio and the music calms her down. Suddenly, a news bulletin comes on. "At approximately 4:30 PM, on Lake View Drive, Mr. Robie was murdered." Alice shrieks. "The murderer was seen to have driven away from the scene of the crime in a....bright....red....Corvette." Frantically, she turns off the radio, hops out of the car, rushes over to the pay phone, inserts twenty-five cents, and dials her mother's number. "Hello?" Her mother answers. "Mom!" Alice screams. "Alice, dear! Alice, we know. I got your e-mail with the confession in it....it's all right dear, you must have been terribly mad....we know you killed your father."

Summary: Wanted
Comment: Wanted is a thriller. It's about a girl who is accused of murdering her own father! Her father had called her about a half-hour before his murder teling her to take his beloved Corvette and drive it to salmon river! She's only 15 and doesn't have her license yet! She drives there and an hour later hears her dad's name on the radio saying that he'd been murdered! Than the description of the Corvette (Which she was in) and panicked called her mom who said that she had a personal testimony from Alice and so Alice just ran ran ran. Her parents had a divorce and her mom had a new boyfriend. All Alice had left of her father were two disks named TWIN! Will Alice prove that she didn't kill her father? I knew right from the start that Alice didn't and so will you but will you find out who did it before they tell you? I gave this five stars because I relly liked the book and it kept me interested. I never wanted to put it down! I think that anyone who has read a Caroline B. Cooney book and liked it will like this book.

Summary: THIS IS A GREAT BOOK!!!!!!!
Comment: Hello you all. Wanted is a really really really good book. It has suspense and it ended a lot differently than I thought that it would. It is about a girl named Alice that is accused of murdering her father. She is all over the news and she is trying to run from it all. See was she all goes through, but really the whole time the police new it wasn't her but they left her on the news so that the real killer would think that he/she was safe. I hope I haven't said too much. This is such a good book. I think that anyone would like this book. If you like the way Caroline B. Cooney writes you will definitely like this book. I think that everyone should read it. If you are thinking of buying it go ahead and buy it. I am going to read it again and I just finished reading it today. I never re-read books so that is saying something. I really think that there should be a sequel. There could easily be a sequel. The sequel could say what happens to Alice, the killer, Alice's family and everything. So Caroline B. Cooney if you are reading this please write a sequel. I think that lots of people would enjoy a sequel. I know you will enjoy this book, Happy reading.
