I decided to make one book mandatory for discussion and I recommend reading the rest if you have time. The book I most wanted to discuss was When you Reach Me by Rebecca Stead

Then we also discuss the first book in the 39 Clues series:
The Maze of Bones by Rick Riordan

and
Skeleton Creek by Patrick Carman (we all thought the way this book is integrated with videoclips online was really interesting, but we were all mad about the abrupt ending!)

Then if you want to read more mysteries I added two bonus books:
Masterpiece by Elise Broach

And
Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta (This one has A LOT of bad language, but it will suck you in!)
