      Reihe action: packende Themen, leicht zu lesen! Auf einer Schülerparty wird der Familienvater Ted Granville so heftig zusammengeschlagen, dass er seinen schweren Verletzungen erliegt. Die Erschütterung in der kleinen Stadt Fairfield über den gewaltsamen Tod des Mannes ist groß – denn eines ist schnell klar: Einer der Jugendlichen aus dem Ort muss der Täter sein. Die Polizei arbeitet mit Hochdruck an der Aufklärung des Falls – und auch die 17-jährige Jen macht sich als Reporterin der Schulnachrichten daran, den Mörder zu finden. Immer wieder stößt sie auf eine Mauer des Schweigens und muss bald feststellen, dass ihre Arbeit alles andere als ungefährlich ist. Außerdem scheint auch Jens Freund keine weiße Weste zu haben.

      Michigan is a study in contrasts. Here, one can find America's most ornate skyscrapers, the very picture of power, speed, glass, and steel. To many, the state conjures up images of bustling factories in the nation's burgeoning auto industry, or the revolutionary hard-rocking wall of sound of Motown music. But Michigan is so much more than that. Nestled between four of the five Great Lakes, this midwestern state is home to countless freshwater coasts, river rapids, and waterfalls. The landscape is covered with scenic forests and verdant orchards and farmlands. Experience the cool blue waters and green countryside in this photographic tour of Michigan.
