Cage of Stars -- Jacquelyn Mitchard

The author of <i>The Deep End of the Ocean</i> delivers a compelling, emotionally charged tale of tragedy, revenge, and redemption. Twelve-year-old Veronica Swan's idyllic life in a close-knit Mormon community is shattered when her two younger sisters are brutally murdered. Although her parents find the strength to forgive the deranged killer, Scott Early, Veronica cannot do the same. Years later, she sets out alone to avenge her sisters' deaths, dropping her identity and severing ties in the process. As she closes in on Early, Veronica will discover the true meaning of sin and compassion, before she makes a decision that will change her and her family's lives forever.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Jacquelyn Mitchard<br><b>Publisher:</b> Grand Central Publishing<br><b>Published:</b> 08/29/2007<br><b>Pages:</b> 336<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.85lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.90h x 5.20w x 0.90d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780446696722<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 5.6<br><b>Point Value:</b> 14<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Upper Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>109789 / Cage of Stars<br><br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><b>Jacquelyn Mitchard</b> is the New York Times bestselling author of works for both adults and children, including <i>Cage of Stars</i> and <i>The Deep End of the Ocean</i>.
