Title: What Happened to Cass McBride? By Gail Giles

What was your impression of this book? Excellent

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Yes  

What was your favorite part? 

My favorite parts were when Cass tried to talk her way out of her grave. She tried to apply all of the things her father had taught her but ultimately failed because of a small mistake. I think these were also the parts in which most of the background story was revealed about both Cass’s and Kyle’s family.

Who was your favorite character? Why? 

My favorite character was Cass because instead of freaking out like most teenage girls would do, she tries to remain calm and collected and to talk her way out. 

  

Write a small summary (w/out giving away the ending)       

Cass McBride is buried alive by Kyle for supposedly causing his little brother David to kill himself. Told from 3 different perspectives in different time frames, this story describes how and why Cass was buried alive and how she tries to get out as the police look for her.                    

                  

Additional Comments

I really enjoyed reading this book. Some readers may not like that the perspective alternates every chapter, but it didn’t bother me and I liked reading the story from all three perspectives.
