There are no more cheerleaders in the town of Sunnybrook. First
there was the car accident - two girls dead after hitting a tree on
a rainy night. Then the murders happened - two girls were killed by
the man next door. The police shot him, so no one will ever know
why he did it. Monica's sister was the last cheerleader to die.
After her suicide, Sunnybrook High disbanded the cheer squad. No
one wanted to be reminded of the girls they'd lost. That was five
years ago. Now the faculty and students at Sunnybrook High want to
remember the lost cheerleaders. But for Monica, it's not that easy.
Her world is starting to unravel. After she discovers the letters
in her stepdad's desk, unearths an ancient phone, and meets a
strange new friend at school, Monica can't just move on. Whatever
happened five years ago isn't over. People know more than they're
letting on and somehow, Monica is at the center of it all. There
are no more cheerleaders in Sunnybrook, but that doesn't mean
anyone else is safe.
Rebekah Yoder loves a good mystery--that is, until she becomes a
part of one.
Rebekah Yoder has always been curious . . . or nosy depending on
whom you ask. When a Yankee stranger moves into the house next

or smiles? When Bekah sees him digging holes in his back yard,
she's sure there is a case to be solved.
Unfortunately, when her cousin blabs the story to the whole
school, rumors fly. Is he hiding something? Treasure? Victims? And
worst of all, annoying Caleb Mullet is now determined to solve the
mystery with her. What they don't realize is there's not just
secrecy lurking next door--there's danger. Will Bekah take her
curiosity too far?
Readers will love journeying with Bekah Yoder as they learn the
danger of gossip, the importance of prayer, and the real story of
"The Secrets Beneath."
