I Bloody Liggie by Ken Catran

Liggie Tanner, with an axe,
Gave her step-mum forty whacks.
When she saw what she had done ,
She gave her dad forty-one...

-Fourteen-year-old Liggie Tanner kills her parents and escapes from prison, disappearing amid the media frenzy surrounding her case. Two years after the murders, at a nearby high school, Danny is intrigued by an attractive and aloof new girl who challenges a bully on his behalf. His attempts to become better acquainted with Sigourney are rebuffed and he can't help but speculate that she and Liggie are one and the same. He secretly follows her and researches details about the crime while being paired with her on a school project.


This book is epic. Its set in Wanaka in New Zealand(?). I'd give it a 9 out of 10. The book's too short but it's good.

  1. Vince you need to write your own reviews not paste a plot summary then write a very brief comment at the end.
