Found Days

by Rosemary Fifield

Her mother's best friend was murdered on the day that Beth Penfield was born, and so far, the fifteen-year-old has never wanted to know more. But two newcomers to her school bring big changes--a tough kid with a questionable past and a meddling special ed teacher with an unusual interest in Beth's family. Rumors begin to come her way, and curiosity gets the best of her. But some things are better left unknown.

I enjoyed reading this story a lot, it
is a very mysterious book full of secrets that
slowly unravel throughout the story once
Beth starts asking questions. Beth is a 15 year
old girl who has never really questioned her life
or surroundings; she has always known that her
family is surrounded by gossip especially because
of the relationship between her parents and her mother's
best friend mysterious dead. It isn't until the new
kid in town or the new teacher arrives that Beth starts
questioning her existence.

The book is very complex and I could not
put it down because of how interesting the plot was.
I just wanted to know all the secrets surrounding Beth
and at times I felt desperate and annoyed because
Beth did not ask enough questions.


The only thing that bothered me a lot was the fact that
you never get to know what happened to Trey at the end.
His story was very heart-wrenching and I hate the fact that
he never got any closer. I also feel like an epilogue would have
been nice to know more about the characters. FYI, it is
implied that Trey is being sexually abused by his caretaker
and the reason why he got close to Beth was because he was
forced to by his guardians. For Trey using Beth was about
survival, he had nothing against her.
