This book was very emotional from the very beginning; four kids losing both parents and then blaming one sibling for their death. What a tragic way to live. My heart just ached for them.

2010 TAYSHAS High School Reading List
Cooney, Caroline. (2009). If the Witness lied. Delacorte Pr.
In a matter of moments, the children in this story lose their mother during child birth and their dad in a freak accident in the driveway. All this was caught on tape and spread through the media like wild fire. The kids split up and go on to lead separate lives until Jack over hears a conversation his Aunt is having. The media is trying to exploit the children and bring back the memories of their parents’ death. The kids rally back together to protect one another against this, but along the way find that their dad’s death may not have been an accident after all.
