I think that Wherever Nina Lies by Lynn Weingarten was a very interesting book!!!! Its about a girl 16 year old girl out to find to her sister that disappeared 2 years ago. She goes through many ups and downs but everuthing turns out right in the end. I suggest this book to anyone that likes realistic fiction. I totally recomend this book to teens ninth grade and up because of some language and other small details that are not good for younger children to read. Enjoy! I finshed this book in a day it was so good!!

Sophie, a seriously ill-year-old with kidney disease, gets lost after a car accident coming home from her first overnight camping trip. Everyone blames her mother for the tragedy, but Janine will do anything to bring her back safely. Sophie finds her way to a cabin, where she thinks she’ll find health, but in fact the people there have other priorities. Will they help her? Will she live? The Courage Tree is Picoult-esque in style, but not quite that caliber. Still a good read though.

Both boys grew up together, unaware that they were half-brothers until much later in life, after the events of their youth and the downfall of the country separates them.
