Return to Sender

This layered and compelling cozy mystery is all about found family, first love, and one town’s tragedies, perfect for fans of Melina Marchetta, Kristin Dwyer, and Nina LaCour. Brodie McKellon didn’t leave town in handcuffs; not exactly. But all the same, in only one night, she lost her best friends and her home. And that same night, the small town of Warwick lost the Adder Stone, a supposedly magical ring of local legend. The events, Brodie maintains, were not related. Four years later, Brodie’s returned to Warwick on a homecoming mission to identify the real thief and get back everything she lost. She can clear her name, win back her friends Elliott and Levi, and save Gran’s house from the bank. But as Brodie starts investigating, she gets pulled into a different mystery, of three friends and their “dead letters”—mail that’s been lost over the years. And soon she finds that there are times when the things you find aren’t the things you even knew you had lost. A house becomes a home. Some friends become family. And other friends, well, they might become something more in this contemporary YA mystery. As long as Brodie can be brave enough to find herself. One town. Two mysteries. And a second chance she can’t afford to lose. Small Town Secrets: Brodie returns to Warwick to clear her name, only to uncover a trail of long-lost letters and a town history deeper and more dangerous than she remembers. Friends to Enemies to Lovers: Levi Sawyer was her best friend, then he believed the worst. Now he’s the last person she wants to trust, and the only one she can’t stop thinking about. A Mystery Within a Mystery: The case of the stolen Adder Stone is what brought her home, but the story of three friends in the “dead letters” might be the mystery that saves her. Found Family and Forgiveness: With her best friend Elliott at her side and her Gran’s house on the line, Brodie has to learn that home isn’t just a place—it’s the people you fight for.
