We Were Liars

Lockhart, E. (2013). We were liars. New York, NY: Random House Children's Books. Summers at the family’s private island were something to look forward to. Candace spent time with extended family and her crush Gat. It’s summer fifteen that Candace has to figure out what happened to her and why her summer came to a halt.  

This book is intended for young adults, intermediate school and above, as readers will encounter Candace's emotional ordeal of coming to terms with the deaths of those close to her. It meets the criteria of a young adult book because the protagonist of the story is a teenager and the narrator of the story. Teachers could this book to discuss foreshadowing and flashbacks of events. They could use this to teach inferencing and making conclusions as well.
