Lucy Clark Will Not Apologize

By Margo Rabb

Book Overview

"A delightfully offbeat mystery that is also about the mystery of becoming yourself." --Rebecca Stead, New York Times bestselling author

In this witty and whimsical story by award-winning author Margo Rabb, a sixteen-year-old girl is suspended from boarding school and sent to New York City, where she must take care of an unconventional woman entangled in a mystery.

Lucy Clark has had it. After being bullied one too many times, Lucy retaliates. But when the fallout is far worse than she meant it to be, she gets sent to Manhattan to serve as a full-time companion to the eccentric Edith Fox.

Edith is glamorous and mysterious--nothing like Lucy expected. Though Edith's world of hidden gardens and afternoon teas is beguiling, there's one other thing about her that makes her unlike anyone Lucy has ever met...she thinks someone is trying to kill her.

And it's up to Lucy to find out who it is.

Customer Reviews

Great book!

I thought this book was cute actually, it was like reading a “Nancy Drew” book. The book was good, I think the ending is the best part of the whole book. I liked the twisty/puzzle like ending how it all comes together actually. The book is more for teens/young adults but I think anyone can read it. It’s a nice calm book to read.
