The following morning Melina receives terrible news: her sister has been brutally murdered -- and Chief, though innocent, is the prime suspect. He and Melina are determined to find the killer, a megalomaniac who’s nearly unstoppable -- and out for blood. Now, with targets on their backs, they must work together to learn the truth behind Gillian’s death -- before they become the killer’s next victims.

“The Summer I Saved the World in 65 Days,” Michele Weber Hurwitz — It’s summertime, and 13-year-old Nina Ross is feeling kind of lost. Her beloved grandma died last year; her parents work all the time; her brother’s busy; and her best friend is into clothes, makeup, and boys. While Nina doesn’t know what "her thing" is yet, it's definitely not shopping and makeup. And it’s not boys, either. Though . . . has Eli, the boy next door, always been so cute? This summer, Nina decides to change things. She hatches a plan. There are 65 days of summer. Every day, she’ll anonymously do one small but remarkable good thing for someone in her neighborhood, and find out: does doing good actually make a difference? Along the way, she discovers that her neighborhood, and her family, are full of surprises and secrets.
