Falling from Fire

Today I read Falling From Fire by Teena Booth. Falling From Fire is categorized as a realistic fiction book, but it could also be categorized as a mystery. Not a murder kind of mystery, but a problem-solving kind of mystery. The main character, Teri, thinks that she is a nobody at her school, and only has one "real" friend. Wesley,  the rumpled, eccentric Wesley. On March 15, Teri's birthday, everything goes downhill. Her mother has a new boyfriend, and she doesn't even realize it's Teri's birthday. She leaves town, leaving the kids on their own. Teri's grandmother comes, wishes her a happy birthday and lights a cake, then goes. Teri goes back to make a wish re-liting the candles, and burning away their home forever. After the fire, Teri realizes what she really wants, and starts putting her life back together.

I rate this book as a
