A Sunnybrook non splende poi tutto questo sole, soprattutto se frequenti il liceo.
Undici anni fa sono morte cinque cheerleader, a distanza di poche settimane l’una dall’altra; ora sono i giocatori di football a vedersela brutta…

Complessivamente, posso dire di aver apprezzato questo secondo volume più del primo. Nel caso di The Cheerleaders, la soluzione è facilmente intuibile non tanto per gli indizi raccolti dalla protagonista, quanto per l’ingenuità dell’autrice.
In The Champions abbiamo un soggetto visto e rivisto, tanto da risultare alquanto banale, però almeno l’indagine è sufficientemente appassionante.
È un libro che si legge un 2-3 ore a dir tanto.
Non mi è dispiaciuto neanche il tono disilluso che pervade tutta la storia: la verità può anche venire a galla, ma non è detto che il colpevole paghi, ed è ridicolico come venga idolatrato chi ha dei meri meriti sportivi. 
In sintesi: nulla di eccezionale, ma fa il suo.

This one seemed heavier in content than the first installment, but it also seemed more well-written. A thrilling and heartbreaking read.
