Once again Ellis has delved into new territory with impressive results.”- Winnipeg Free Press “With important moral issues, gripping suspense and a surprise ending, this is a must-read book for teenagers. “Ellis has done a first-rate job of putting friendship under a literary microscope.” - CM Magazine “Deborah Ellis has again delved into the psychological depths of youth and produced a story that will force readers to look inside themselves and ask – really consider – what they would do in Jess’s situation.” - Resource Links “Jess… grabs readers’ attention and never lets it go.” - Kirkus Reviews “The mystery here is not just a whodunit but how loyalty and betrayal can rest along such a razor’s edge.” - Booklist True Blue looks at the darker side of a friendship and the inner world of an emotionally detached teenager who struggles to find the moral courage to remain loyal to a friend in trouble.Ģ012 Manitoba Young Reader’s Choice Award nominee In a stunning departure from her novels about the challenges facing children in developing countries, Deborah Ellis has written a story about teenagers in an ordinary North American town-an enthralling read that is part psychological suspense, part murder mystery. The truth is, without Casey, Jess feels left behind.
But does anyone really care about Jess? Mostly she finds it hard to sit still late at night she rides her bike aimlessly up and down the town’s streets. Everyone wants to know what happened that summer.
Sure, Casey used to joke about killing the kid, but she wasn’t serious.While the whole town takes sides and waits for the trial, Jess finds herself the center of attention.
Stephanie Glass was the brattiest kid at camp Casey and Jess weren’t the only counselors who complained about her. But now Casey has been arrested for murder. And what about Jess? Casey told her to run, so she became a runner, and Casey dubbed her “Dragonfly.” They were best friends forever. Praying Mantis-knew she was going to be an entomologist. Parasitic fame.Įven when she was little, Casey-a.k.a. A person doesn’t have to do anything important to get recognition anymore it’s enough to know someone who does.
