Alex LaDuca must cut her holiday short to handle an art theft investigation/recovery in Spain. Nothing is simple however and she soon finds herself working with mysterious agents from other countries to track down both the missing Pieta and a terrorist group's target. This is the second book in the Russian Trilogy. Very engaging and could also read stand alone since it does comprise a complete story on its own.

Couldn't put it down. Stayed up way too late reading it. It was worth the lost sleep though.

In spite of the pressures on her to stop her investigative reporting for the school paper, and conflicts between the lifestyle she used to have and her new lifestyle, choices about friendship and dating, Bella is persistant.

Ruby Unscripted by Cindy Martinusen-Coloma
Available May 2009

$12.99 Tradepaperback
978-1-5954-3561
This is a very enjoyable read. The prose is fluid. The book is entertaining and presents some realistic difficult choices teens are faced with. Ruby makes some good choices, some not so good but overall the book encourages making positive choices in life. Some of the situations Ruby faces involve choices about loyalty to your own goals, to your friends, honesty to yourself and others, being supportive, drinking, drugs, sex, and making judgements about others.
This is the author's first foray into YA novels, so if you are familiar with her other books, be aware that this is written for a slightly younger audience.
