About this audiobook
Joan Lowery Nixon
Joan Lowery Nixon (1927–2003) was a renowned author of children’s literature, best known for series like the Orphan Train Adventures and Casebusters. Born in Los Angeles, she began dictating poems to her mother before she could read. At the University of Southern California, Nixon majored in journalism, but took a job teaching the first grade upon graduating. In 1949, she and her husband moved to Corpus Christi, Texas, and in 1964 she published her first novel, The Mystery of Hurricane Castle. Nixon became a fan of mystery fiction when she was a child, and many of her most popular series incorporate elements of sleuthing. She won four Edgar Awards for best young adult mysteries, including prizes for her novels The Kidnapping of Christina Lattimore (1979) and The Name of the Game Was Murder (1993). In addition to writing more than 140 young adult novels, Nixon also co-wrote several geology texts with her scientist husband.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Joan Lowery Nixon was one of my favorite authors in high school. This was the first book of hers I've read. It was good enough to peak my interest to look for other books by her but actually ended up being on my least favorite from her.Stacy wakes up to learn she was in a coma for four years and the man who shot her also killed her mother. This book is from the mid 1980's so it was kind of flat throughout but it covered some good issues as Stacy had to get used to her new life and I really liked some of the descriptions. I also thought the ending was good. This author always delivers a twist.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book was alright. It was a mystery which I liked, but I think it could've been written better.
