Invisible
By Cecily Anne Paterson / Genre: Contemporary, Romance, Teen & Young Adult / Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars (446 reviews)
Jazmine Crawford doesn’t make decisions. She doesn’t make choices. She doesn’t make friends. Jazmine Crawford only wants one thing: to be invisible. For Jazmine, it’s a lot easier to take out her hearing aid and drift along pretending that nothing’s wrong than it is to admit that she’s heartbroken about her dad dying. She’s been drifting and ignoring her over-worried mum for four years now.
When bad girl Shalini and her mates adopt Jazmine, she quickly finds herself involved in more than she can handle. Sitting in disgrace in the principal’s office, Jazmine is offered a choice: help drama teacher Miss Fraser in the upcoming production of The Secret Garden or face a four week suspension.
It’s Miss Fraser who clinches the decision. “I believe in you Jazmine,” she says. “I know you can do this.” And Jazmine, terrified, disbelieving and elated all at the same time, joins the play.
For a while it’s all good. Drama star and chocolate lover Liam is friendly and Jazmine realises that making friends, talking to her mother and feeling her emotions isn’t as scary as she thought. In a final happy twist of fate, acting diva Angela quits the play and with only a week to go, Miss Fraser asks Jazmine to take on the main role of Mary.
But then Shalini returns from her suspension. She’s out for payback, and she has just the ammunition she needs to force Jazmine to quit the play and go back to her old ways.
Will Jazmine be confident enough to stand up for herself against Shalini? Will Liam still like her if he finds out who she really is? And does she have the strength to face the truth about her father’s suicide?

CUTTER’S GROVE
By Patrick Dakin / Genre: Crime, Mystery & Thrillers / Rating: 4.3 out of 5 stars (35 reviews)
Stranded one night on a lonely back road in the California desert, Lucas Tunney sees something that defies explanation. Are his eyes playing tricks on him, or did he really see a ghost?
Although almost sure, he can’t quite convince himself that the sighting was genuine.
After he’s rescued Lucas accepts an offer of employment in the nearby town of Cutter’s Grove.
At first his existence in this sleepy little burg lacks much in the way of excitement. But that changes when he’s told about the mysterious disappearance of a young girl that took place a year earlier. When shown her picture, Lucas realizes his experience in the desert was all too real.
But going to the authorities and telling them what he saw is out of the question – without a doubt he’ll be tagged as crazy.
As unappealing as the notion is, he doesn’t see that he has much choice; he has to try to learn how this child was killed and, in the process, learn who might have been responsible.
His pursuit of answers will have Lucas questioning everything he thought he knew, and will forever change his life.
