Answer 3

I personally am not a fan of Agatha Christie. If you want to read a good book, read "The Gospel According To Larry" and "Vote For Larry" by Janet Tashjian. They both deal with issues of young adults and have some interesting points of view.

Answer 4

I like a lot of the Eleanor Estates books like Ginger Pye or Pinky Pye. I also like E. Nesbit who wrote books like The Enchanted Castle and the Story of the Amulet. I also like Girl Hearts by Norma Fox Mizer, I think.

Answer 5

Janet Evanovich is another author of light mysteries.

They may have web sites ...
