Can I Trust Her? Frances Lucas

When Marisol, North High School's valedictorian and rising
star, is found dead at the bottom of the film club staircase, everyone assumes
it was an accident. After all, the stairs are poorly lit and a person in a
hurry could easily miss a step and take a tumble. Besides, who would want to
kill someone so universally loved? Except, it turns out Marisol wasn't
universally loved, and she was keeping secrets. And not just ones of her own.



Virginia and Katie, amateur sleuths and former 8th
grade sweethearts, are determined to get to the bottom of things. But first
they must work through their own issues, like why did Katie and her parents
suddenly leave Alaska, and why does she want nothing to do with Virginia now--three
years later? Both girls have their secrets and there's no love lost between either
of them, and Marisol. Can Virginia and Katie find their way back together and trust
each other to tell the truth?













Set against the rich, culturally diverse backdrop of
Anchorage, Alaska, Can I Trust Her? challenges stereotypes and champions
diversity.
