For fans of mystery, suspense, and 1970s fiction, The Grudge List promises heart-pounding action against the streets of Chicago. Sixth grader Mike Peters discovers a murderer on his paper route-and must decide what to do about it.
In the Northside of Chicago, Mike Peters lives an average life with his family. His paper route includes Dickens Avenue, and he plays streetball and street hockey when he's finished with his route, his homework, and his chores. He gets to see the headlines of the day as he throws issues of Chicago Today to his local customers' doorsteps-but the biggest headline is on his route, not printed in paper.
Despite only being in sixth grade, the paperboy discovers a shocking truth when he comes across a Grudge List-that someone on his route is a murderer.
Before Mike has figured out what to do with the information he uncovers, evil begins to pervade the neighborhood in earnest. And when an overzealous reporter who knows too many details of the crime scenes comes calling, Mike, the reporter, and the murder collide-exposing a yearbook with the murderer's plan front and center.
The Grudge List is an explosive debut fiction release from new author Chris Bryda. While an obvious overarching message of the book may communicate Don't ever underestimate the ability of a sixth grader to figure things out before the adults, The Grudge List demonstrates deep, meaningful themes. Throughout the exciting narrative, readers will face human experiences like a loss of innocence, a dedication to the truth, the instinct to follow your gut, and the role courage plays in a community.
Don't miss this 1970s-inspired historical murder mystery with enough heart, action, and twists to keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.
