Juvenile Fiction. Mystery. HTML:

Who's it going to be?

Spencer's the smart kid. Shelly's the diva. Miranda's the scaredy-cat. Matthew's just average (so far). In fact, there's nothing about any of the nine middle-schoolers on Mrs. B's bus route that screams "fame." But before the end of the year, somebody on this bus is going to be famous.

Every morning, their school bus waits at an empty bus stop. Nobody ever gets on. Nobody ever gets off.

And Mrs. B refuses to answer questions about it. Strangest of all, it's Bender the bully who decides to investigate the mystery. But it will take all nine students to find out the truth, for each of them has a clue to the mystery that will change their lives forever.

Award-winning author J.B. Cheaney's new middle grade novel weaves multiple points of view into one fascinating read. Part detective story, part tale of self-discovery, this funny and touching novel is destined to be a modern classic.

"A heartwarming story of discovery, hope, humor, and mystery ? you're in for a fun ride!" ??Author of Sure Signs of Crazy and Courage for Beginners

"Cheaney's narrative style is dynamic and lively. She clearly has high expectations of her audience, creating a middle-grade reader with both substance and complexity that is also truly fun." -VOYA

"Cheaney effectively combines multiple layers of mystery with an uplifting message about resilience." -Kirkus… (altro)

Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.

This book may have had the weirdest ending to a book that I've ever read. The story starts out with a bus accident. Then the story flashes back to several weeks before the wreck. A large group of characters who ride the bus is introduced, and then each chapter that follows explains why each one of the characters might become famous. I did like each character and the problems that are introduced about each one, but just as I would get interested in that character and his or her problems, the chapter would end and we would move on to another character.
Without giving too much away, I will say that the ending was a bit of a let down, especially when we find out that there is another chapter of the book that has to be read online. The last chapter does sum up what happens to each character, and the ending has a nice twist, but still pretty odd. ( )

At the beginning of the school year, we meet nine students – each with their own dreams and goals – that are on the bus for quite a long time. This has been the case since they started school, but this year is different because there is a new girl, and an extra stop where no one ever gets on the bus. Through the year each student tells his or her story, focused on their own plans, but also trying to solve the mystery of the empty stop. All we know is that by the end of the year, one of the characters will be famous!

I really enjoyed the different voices throughout the story and how getting each perspective allowed the reader to “solve” the mystery more quickly than the characters. There were a lot of different issues going on, but it didn’t feel overwhelming because it was for so many different kids. I think it’s a good way to remember that people have so much more going on than it looks like from the outside. ( )

An interesting mystery I think would appeal to the young reader audience. The nine kids of this school bus don't know why the bus stops every day at this stop and no one ever gets on the bus and no one ever gets off the bus. That is the mysterious this unique mix of kids wants to solve. ( )
