Truth

When a prominent member of the community is killed at a house party, many of the town's teenagers know who did it. Why won't someone tell the truth? When an adult neighbor is brutally murdered during a high-school house party, everyone in school seems to have an idea who did it, but no one will go to the police. Jen was there and saw the body and she has her own ideas about who is responsible. As a reporter for the school TV show, she decides to try and uncover the truth and discover if a classmate's increasingly violent behavior is to blame. When she and others begin digging too deeply, violence flares in the small community. Finally, Jen is forced to take a stand, one that may cost her more than she could imagine. Truth was inspired by actual events and informed by Tanya's interest in the teen code of silence that seems to be so ubiquitous today. Tanya is a freelance graphic designer and writer. Her most recent book, Canadian Girls who Rocked the World (Whitecap) has been nominated for the Saskatchewan Young Readers' Choice Award. Tanya lives in Vancouver, BC. She has never solved a murder.Kyi, Tanya Lloyd is the author of 'Truth', published 2003 under ISBN 9780606294379 and ISBN 0606294376.
