Liar by Justine Larbalestier
Micah is a liar. She has always lied. It’s a family curse – she can’t help but lie to you. But now, her classmate (and secret boyfriend) Zach has been killed under mysterious circumstances, and all of Micah’s carefully constructed lies are starting to crumble around her. Micah promises that this time she’s going to tell you the truth about what happened to Zach, and about her mysterious family history. No lies, no omissions. But can you really believe a word she says?
If you’ve read any of Labalestier’s other books (including Magic or Madness trilogy, and How to Ditch Your Fairy), be prepared for something totally different!
Once you’ve finished Liar and you’re looking for a good place to discuss it with others, check out her blog and look for the discussion posts. She has quite the sense of humor and also provides some great tips for aspiring young writers.
On another note… Justine Larbalestier is married to Scott Westerfeld, writer of the popular Uglies and Midnighters trilogies.

Have you listened to a good book lately? The Watertown Public Library recently added an exciting new item called Playaway to our teen collection.
A Playaway is a self-playing digital audio book, small enough to fit in the palm of your hand.
The self-contained units require a AAA battery and a standard set of earbuds(not supplied by the library). Stop in the teen area and check out these new items!
