Death in the Tallgrass

By: Rogers, Andrea L.

The author of the Walter Award-winning Man Made Monsters and the Caldecott Medal-winning Chooch Helped delivers a thriller that reads like Holes for a new generation--a murder mystery interwoven with Cherokee history and culture.

Diane and her family have moved onto their grandfather's ranch in the hills of Oklahoma. There's any number of problems she can see with her new situation, but the main one is plain: Grandfather Wilson is not a good man. But with her sisters and her parents--and the opportunity to reconnect with her Cherokee heritage--it's at least manageable.

Until a strange girl shows up on the ranch and Diane's life is changed forever. For she soon realizes that death lurks within the beautiful prairie grass around them... and a terrible secret that will tear their family apart if she lets it.
