I stayed up late last night finishing What I Saw and How I Lied by Judy Blundell. This is a historical novel set in the post WWII era, but it's really a mystery and coming-of-age story of a young girl, Evie, caught up in her parents' lies. It is well writen and a page-turner- although I saw some of it coming- I still couldn't help myself from continuing until the end.I give it a 4 out of 5 stars (I reserve the 5th star for the very best).
The book is a 2008 National Book Award winner and Judy Blundell has written for all age levels under several pseydonyms- she loves Star Wars (and writes as Jude Watson) and is writing The 39 Clues series which is so popular- http://www.judyblundell.com/.
