If the Witness Lied by Caroline B. Cooney
With their parents gone, the Fountain children are under the care of their
"aunt" Cheryl. Jack Fountain tries hard to be a good brother to his
youngest sibling Tris, while Madison and Smithy have abandoned the family in an
attempt to deal with their grief. Sound like a boring read so far? Well what if
you knew, as the world is about to, that Tris Fountain, who is almost three,
has already caused the deaths of two people -- his parents? Or has he? When
Jack discovers that Cheryl is about to turn Tris into a reality television star
for a show that will portray him as a monster, he knows he has to stop it. His
sisters become his unexpected allies, and together they discover that their
father's death may not have happened as they had been led to believe, that in
fact, the only witness to his death may have lied. This book is a slow,
methodical unraveling of a mystery that brings a family together against a
common enemy in order to protect the one that cannot protect himself.
