Mrs. Childs's creative writing students are expected to keep personal journals for self-expression. But when clues from a murder investigation cause police authorities to confiscate the students’ journals, writing intended to be private is no longer. Words meant to liberate now condemn. And an innocent writing project, meant to empower students, as well as rescue Mrs. Childs from her own personal tragedy, now open deep conflicts within the class.

My Review
This is a very interesting topic for me. I had a journal in middle school and it got me through some tough times. To be able to right my thoughts down made me feel better. However I was always thinking about what I was writing and how my teacher would interpret what I was saying. To have my thoughts taken and needed as evidence in an investigation would drive me crazy. I would rethink everything I wrote. I liked that the author tried to make the teenage drama as realistic as possible. The mystery and the involvement of police was an added benefit. I also liked that this was a creative writing class. The writer encouraged her students to write. i am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
