A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson has become one of my favorite books I’ve ever read; in fact, I would without hesitation put it on my “top 7” list. You may have heard of this novel from the TV show created recently. If you do plan to watch the show, I highly recommend you read this book first as the show tends to rush through some crucial parts of the entire plot. This murder mystery follows the life of a 17-year-old girl, Pip, who uncovers the mysterious past of her hometown.

Tyrannosaurus Wrecks is about Teddy Fitzroy and his encounters with a tyrannosaurus rex skull. One day he receives a call from his friend, Sage, that a T-rex skull that was discovered in his backyard has mysteriously disappeared. Since Teddy has solved many mysteries in the past, he is the one tasked with finding out what happened to the skull. The mystery doesn’t make any sense, as the skull weighed 500 pounds and it had rained the night before, and there were no footprints.
