 Ah! One of my Read It OR Lose It titles! This wasn't one of the top ones I want to read, mainly it was chosen because it was short and having dropped a book as not-for-me I thought I needed to fill the review space with something and quick! However, I was wrong. 
 This was a nice little murder mystery - that sounds like an oxymoron - and the murderer wasn't as obvious as I expected it to be at all! I made my assumptions and got on with the story only to be utterly surprised! You know what they say about assuming... 
 There was a semi love triangle which seems to unfortunately be key to the plot for the second book so at this point I'll be saying no thank you, though I may change my mind at a later date, if this storyline ambushes me some time in the future. 
 I love how the billing of their names goes like so: 
 Clare (Clarity) Fern 
 Perry (Periwinkle) Fern 
 Starla (Mary) Fern 
 The hippie children 'mainstreaming' their name and their mother, hippie-ing hers, which is pretty much irrelevant, but it amused me. 
 I would love to know more about their father and that colony type place their parents grew up in too! Perhaps he'll crop up in book 2, though I sort of hope not. 
 This is perhaps more of a teen/YA book than a full YA. Cute, light and short.
