Ten year old Karen is investigating the murder of her neighbor. She lives in Chicago in the 1960's and this book does a good job of showing us the backdrop of her life and neighborhood. She is not popular at school, believes she is a monster but that doesn't get in the way of her investigation. She lives with her mom who is dying of cancer and her older brother who she idolizes. This book takes us to a lot of places. The illustrations are incredible. It was hard to put down. It is a little bit scary so beware.
