My book talk: When the Stingers’ belligerent head coach is murdered at his own football field, Millie puts her reporting skills (and deep knowledge of Nancy Drew mysteries) to work to find the killer. Review copy and cover image courtesy of the publisher.
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Books for Young Readers, 2014. There are more motives for murder, offbeat theories, and potential killers in this story than you can shake a honey-stick at, as loner Millie tries to prove that her dad couldn’t have killed the coach and finds an unexpected ally in new-to-Honeyville Chase who fends off cheerleader Vivienne’s advances as smoothly as he quarterbacks the team to victory.Īnd how I wish that the video of Viv’s humiliating encounter with the Stingers’ mascot was really on YouTube! Grab this at your local library or favorite independent bookstore for a fun football Friday read anytime.īook info: Buzz Kill / Beth Fantaskey. One dead coach with a long list of enemies. One rival cheerleader/reporter with a grudge. One new quarterback with no personal history. One geeky teen girl reporter with few friends.
