About the Book

Nothing--and no one--will stand in Kathy's way of winning the tennis championship. After all winning is everything . . . or is it? Kathy Bardy doesn't have the good looks and ease of her best friend, Julia. She doesn't have the grades of her little sister, Jody. What she has is tennis. Kathy's coach even says she's the most promising New England junior to come along in years. With tennis come trophies, free equipment, and tournament prize money--and all these things put Kathy on equal more footing with pretty and well-heeled Julia. Then, out of nowhere, comes Ruth Gumm, an indifferent player Kathy should beat every time. But Kathy can't beat her. She loses her cool and her nerves every time Ruth is on the other side of the net. And Ruth is supposed to play Kathy in the first round of an important tournament, one that could lead to enormous future success for young Kathy Bardy. Suddenly, Ruth is found drowned in a swimming pool. Is Kathy connected to Ruth's death? Was it just an accident, or had someone else stepped into the picture? This chilling mystery was named a runner-up for the Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America, an ALA Best Book for Young Adults, and a School Library Journal choice for Best Book for Young Adults. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Rosemary Wells including rare images from the author's collection.

About the Author :
Rosemary Wells (b. 1942) is a bestselling children's book author and illustrator. Born in New York City, Wells was raised in New Jersey. She grew up in a theatre family. Her mother was a ballet dancer and her father was an actor-playwright. "We had a houseful of wonderful books. Reading stories aloud was as much a part of my childhood as the air I breathed," Wells recalls. Wells attended the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Since 1968, Wells has published more than 120 books, including seven novels. In her picture books, she pairs her delightful illustrations with humorous, and emotionally adept themes. Among her bestselling picture book titles are Voyage to the Bunny Planet, My Very First Mother Goose, and Read to Your Bunny. She is best known for the Max and Ruby series, which depicts the adventures of sibling bunnies. In addition to her picture books, Wells has written several historical fiction and mystery/suspense novels for young adults. She has won countless awards, such as the Parents' Choice Foundation Award and multiple School Library Journal Best Book of the Year awards.

Review :
"Urgently compelling." --Publishers Weekly "Wells's focus on the moral dilemma gives the characters and the story solidity without solemnity." --Kirkus Reviews
