Blank Confession by Pete Hautman
2010/170 pgs
This is a short novel, but it kept me engaged and turning pages. Shayne is a new kid in town that has no problem getting into trouble. He arrives at the police station confessing to a murder, the police aren't sure what to make of him. But things don't add up.
The book is told in multiple points of view and we get Shayne's confession, his best friend's point of view, and the police officer who really wanted to be a teacher to help teens like Shayne. There are plenty of twists and turns and the ending was a satisfying surprise. I'd recommend this one to teens who like a bit of mystery as well as reluctant readers.
