When

By Victoria Laurie
Lexile = 820

Maddie has a gift. She knows when you are going to die. Now, maybe that isn't much of a gift, but she is is never wrong. She will tell when you will die, but you have to pay for it. Maddie's mom is an alcoholic and has used her daughter's ability to finance her drinking.

When a boy that Maddie has predicted will die goes missing, the FBI considers Maddie the prime suspect. When they find his body, she is the ONLY suspect.

I did figure out who really did it before the book told me. To enjoy this book, you have to just accept the whole "she can see your death date floating about your head" and move on. Just go with it.... this is a fun read!
