Interesting cover design here

conulyThe cover screams YA, but the book is solidly middle grade - I'm three pages in and we've established that the main character is in the 4th grade and her sister is 14.
I still enjoy middle grade books (and middle grade realistic/contemporary is more likely to appeal than YA or, god forbid, adult realistic/contemporary*) and I legit thought this was misshelved when I picked it up.
* Unless it's a murder mystery, in which case I may like it quite a bit. Which makes me wonder, why aren't there more sci-fi/fantasy murder mystery series? Historical fiction has its own niche there. Hm...
