One of the Kirkus Reviews’ Best Books for Teens in 2012
Critically acclaimed author Kathryn Miller Haines' debut YA novel The Girl Is Murder received an Edgar Award nomination. Its sequel, The Girl Is Trouble, uses the same exciting blend of mystery and
historical detail to keep listeners on the edge of their seats. Iris Anderson is allowed to work at her pop's detective agency as long as she does things his way and learns his method. Yet when she
discovers information about her mother's supposed suicide, Iris is thrown headfirst into the most personal case of her life.
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Teen sleuth Iris Anderson returns, but she is now sanctioned by her pop to help in his 1940s detective work… this sequel’s high stakes up the ante for Iris. A solid mix of history and mystery.” —Booklist
“Narrator Rachel Botchan begins Iris’s story with sensible tones that become more emotionally fraught as Iris struggles to investigate death threats against the Jewish students at her school…Botchan matches the rising emotional intensity of Iris’s dangerous investigations, keeping listeners on the edge of their seats throughout.”
—AudioFile
“This absorbing novel works on three levels–as the story of the relationship between a daughter and parent, as a drama among teen peers, and as historical fiction.” —School Library Journal
“Haines delves deeper into Iris’ intriguing character in this compelling, self-contained sequel while doing a bang-up job of maintaining the ace period setting.…A solid addition to what is turning into a swell series.”
—Kirkus Reviews
