Murder mystery fans: This list’s for you.
In this debut novel, South Asian American high school student Angie witnesses a violent altercation between two white male classmates and a Black female classmate, Chiara. After being physically and verbally harassed by the two boys, Chiara stabs one of them.
Following the incident, the media totally sides with the student and pressures Angie and her single father, Bobby, to do the same. Constant visits from her white swim team partner and the boys' lawyer leads Angie to give a weak testimony skewing in his favor. Unfortunately, even with Angie's unconvincing account, the odds are already stacked against Chiara: She’s technically not enrolled in the school, she has disappeared, and her family is unable to defend her.

Biden's ancestral hometowns prepare warm Irish welcomeExcitement is building in Ballina, a small Irish town that was home to some of President Joe Biden's ancestors. Biden is scheduled to visit the town next week, part of a four-day trip to Ireland and neighboring Northern Ireland. The Irish Family History Centre says Biden “is among the most ‘Irish’ of all U.S. Presidents,” with 10 of his 16 great-great grandparents born on the Emerald Isle. All of them left for the U.S. during the Great Famine. He plans to visit two Irish spots connected to his roots. One is Ballina in western Ireland, where his great-great grandfather, Patrick Blewitt, was born. Distant cousin Joe Blewitt says it will be “like another St. Patrick’s Day” when the president arrives.
