Hello!
I teach 8th grade English, and I'm having a hard time getting some of my kids into reading. I told one of my girls that I'd find a book she would like. We talked, and it boils down to this: a romantic mystery that grabs you from the start (and is 8th grade school appropriate). I don't know if this is even possible, but I thought this was the best place to try.
Thank you, in advance, for any help!!

Fire keepers daughter ?
Here are my two great recommendations:
1. [A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson](https://amzn.to/3EQwObP)
A thrilling mystery with a strong female lead investigating a closed murder case. It’s a page-turner with a hint of romance, perfect for keeping young readers engaged.
2. [One of Us Is Lying by Karen M. McManus](https://amzn.to/41tPvLi)
A suspenseful mystery set in a high school, where five students walk into detention, but only four walk out alive. It’s full of twists, secrets, and some romantic subplots.
I attached the links in the titles above to their Amazon pages for you to check them out. Enjoy!
