Blood in the Water by Tiffany D. Jackson

4.5

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫/5 for this middle grade murder mystery. Kaylani is sent to spend the summer on Martha’s Vineyard with some family friends as her mother attempts to get her to stop obsessing over her father being in prison. But then a murder happens, and everyone casually gets over it quickly, but Kaylani has been studying up on the law as she tries to figure out how her father is behind bars when he is innocent. So she starts investigating, but is shocked with what she finds. The end wraps up way quickly, but this fills a need in the MG world, where it is an age-appropriate main character but there is murder involved. This one will fly off the shelves, so order extra if you haven’t already. #mglit #librarian #librariansofinstagram #middleschoollibrarian
