Fourteen year-old Lucy, her older brother Jamie, and his best friend Kit are driving across the desert, making their way from Kansas to Phoenix for their spring break, when a thunderstorm appears out of nowhere. The driver, Jamie, exclaims that he can hardly see through the windshield, the rain so furiously pelting down on them, and then - BAM! - they've hit something. But what? Jamie and Kit swear it's a coyote, but Lucy insists they turn back to see what it was, just in case it was someone's pet. They finally do turn around, but what they find is no coyote. It's a girl. And she's dead. Desert Crossing is a captivating mystery that will get you hooked. Did Jamie kill her, or was it, as he swears, a coyote. And if he didn't, how did she end up there. What was a girl doing on the side of a long stretch of desert highway? I am so not going to tell you, so check out Desert Crossing, since I'm going to put it back on the shelf right now.
