Sunshine Susie

In highschool I read a book called The Lovely Bones, and to this day it is my favorite book. Susie Salmon was an eleven year old living with her family around the seventies. She was murdered and raped by her next door neighbor Mr Harvey. What was so interesting about this book is that Suzies body was never found. And where her body was hidden was bizarre. Mr harvey was a bright man, (mostly a home body) where he spent most of his time scheming and planning a way to kill Susie. He built a (pretend) clubhouse in the ground of a cornfield. Thats where he murdered and raped Susie. But after she was murdered Susie lived on to tell her story from heaven. I think this book is so interesting because it tells you not to trust strangers and there are psychotic people out there in the world.
