The House on the Gulf is by Margaret Peterson Haddix. Twelve-year-old Britt lives with her mother and her older brother, Bran, in a small, dismal apartment. Then Bran announces that he has a summer house-sitting job, enabling the family to live in a better neighborhood. When they move into their temporary home, Britt notices that Bran has developed an uncharacteristic mania for secrecy. Britt is certain Bran is concealing something. She thinks she discovers the truth, but is she right? Lots of fun unexpected twists.
Ratings: 7th grade - 9 out of 10.
