The Liars Society by Alyson Gerber

Weatherby is the girl trying to get a sailing scholarship to the prestigious Boston School, to learn more about her dad, who she never met.

Jack is the rich kid trying to win the regatta to impress his powerful and overbearing father.

These two start as enemies, but end up relying on each other in sailing and in keeping secrets.

When the money for the traditional trip to Hart Island is stolen, Weatherby, Jack, and friends are recruited by a secret society to find the money and restore the trip.

But everything is not as it seems and secrets have a way of coming out even when the Boston School and Jack’s family try very hard to keep them buried. 

This book has great characters and an intriguing mystery that should keep tweens turning the pages to get some answers.

I gave this book 4.5 stars and even though I did figure out a few of the twists, the characters kept me engaged and I couldn’t wait for them to solve the mysteries, too.

I think the middle-grade target audience will love this book.

The characters are not perfect, but seem realistic in their secrets, actions, and friendships.

I can’t wait for Weatherby and Jack’s continued adventures!
