Dovey Coe

Dovey Coe
By Frances O’Roark Dowell

Dovey is 12 years old, a bit of a rebel, and on trial for murder. Her sister, Caroline, spent the summer being wooed by the richest boy in town, Parnell. Dovey hates Parnell, and has not made any secret of her feelings for him. Is it any wonder, then, that when she is discovered at the scene of the murder, she is the only suspect? Dovey is a great character who will jump off the pages of the book and into your mind. This book is a quick read, and very enjoyable.
