Hi Nancy,
Have you tried Alane Ferguson's forensic science series? It is fiction, but
you might be able to use the books in some way. There are four books--the
first is The Christopher Killer; the second is Angel of Death; the third is
Circle of Blood, and the fourth is The Dying Breath. In my opinion, each
book has gotten better, which is often rare! Each book revolves around
Cameryn Mahoney who is a teenage assistant coroner in a small Colorado town.
My eighth graders have loved this series (and I have, too. I am reading the
fourth right now!)

Subject: [LIT] Mystery/Forensics Tie-In
Hi Everyone,
I teach at a very small middle school where I teach many of the subjects.
Currently in science we're studying forensics.
I was considering tying it in with a mystery book report, writing a
mystery, etc.
Do you know of any true crime that's appropriate for 11-14 year olds?
Any other ideas?
Thank you,
Nancy Carroll
