December by Gabrielle Lord. The twelfth and final thriller in the Conspiracy 365 series, recommended for readers aged 13 and older. Lexile measure: 760L. Reviewed by a 6th grade teacher, who writes, "Readers will find their stomach in knots as they plow through page after page of exciting plot. ... In a world filled with technology where kids can become absorbed so easily in Wii or Xbox, it's comforting to know that there are writers out there who can break the mold and write a book, or even a series, that will have kids putting away the games, shutting off the computers, and absorbing themselves in a book!"
