Summary: A Great Book to Read
Review: If you like mystery and suspence you should read the book called A Candidate for Murder by Joan Lowery Nixon. It is about a young 16 year old girl, Cary Amberson, who's father is running for governor of Texas. So, after she recieved some rather scary phone calls from a stranger she never heard of , the police say it is just from all the publicity their family is getting. She knows it is something more dangerous than just some prank phone calls, so she tries to figure out the whole story about the strange things that have been going on.
I think this was a really good book because you really didn't know what was going to happen next. There were a lot of twists and turns in the book, and I could really relate to the main character. She did most of the stuff that I would have done. But, some parts were kind of hard to understand, so you had to read it carefully. Read this book and see how Cary deals with her father running for governor, and the almost freaky phone calls she starts to get.

Rating: 5 stars

Review: It began in Texas, on a hot summer day where a sixteen-year-old girl named Cary was excited to help her father run for governor. Cary's father made an announcement at city hall saying he'll be running for governer of Texas, Cary realized that she'd be the center of attention. But when she notice that she was being followed by an unknown person and receiving phone calls in the middle of the night she began to realize these things do not fit with being the governers daughter.

Cary had also remembers hearing a plane to kill someone, she thought it was a joke; soon she is almost certain who the stalker is. Cary doesn't know what to do; she does not want to tell her father because he'll be worry and just might drop out of being governor.
