 A little gem of a book,Ten was a thriller that zipped by at a furious pace. It tells the story of Meg, average teen, and the trip she takes to an isolated island in the Pacific Northwest. What Meg's best friend Minnie thought would be her re-entry into the popular circle turns out to be a plot for revenge. 
 As I mentioned, Ten was a quick read. I enjoyed most of the minutes I spent reading it, and my main complaint would be that I'd have liked the book to be longer. I love teen thrillers, and I wish that there were more of them (without supernatural elements), so I think I was predisposed to enjoy this one. Still, McNeil created an absorbing mystery, complete with a romance and a complex best-friendship. The writing is good without being great. Characterization of each of the ten teens suffers a bit because of the abbreviated length of the book, but Meg, Minnie and even TJ are sufficiently fleshed out.
