To The Power of Three


This mystery is about three teenage girls who have been best friends since elementary school. From the outside it was the perfect friendship of contrasting girls; one the athlete, one the beauty, one the intellect. One morning at school they are found locked in a school restroom. One dead, one seriously wounded, and the other minimally wounded from a gun. The community is shocked and the stories about them are not adding up. I think the author, Laura Lippman, understands teenagers better than most and is able to write about themes like privilege and pressure very well.
