The Vanishing Stair is by Maureen Johnson. The second book in the realistic fiction Truly Devious series. After the death of one student and the disappearance of another, Stevie's parents bring her home from Ellingham Academy. Then powerbroker and future presidential candidate, Edward King shows up and convinces her parents to let her return to Ellingham. There is of course a catch, Stevie needs to keep an eye on King's son, David, who is a trouble maker at the school and also Stevie's crush. Now she's back and still working on solving the Ellingham mystery and living with the lies she has to tell about her return. Fans of the series will enjoy this one as well, but FYI, it ends on a huge cliffhanger - so if that bothers you have the next book ready to go.
Ratings: 7th grade - 7 out of 10.
