This is What I Did by Ann Dee Ellis
Logan is an easy to like character. He’s awkward, shy, and completely normal, but his life is not normal at all. Although he’s not talking about it, Logan witnessed a horrific crime a few months ago. He can’t talk about it; he doesn’t know how. His silence fills the pages of the book as others try to figure out what exactly happened. His parents move the family to a nearby neighborhood hoping to get a fresh start. However, the stories and rumors follow Logan, plus Logan’s own guilt and horror remain fresh over what happened at Zyler’s (his best friend) house. While Logan’s parents are loving and supportive, they are both just a little too preoccupied with their own lives and fears to really be able to help Logan when he needs it most.

Ann Dee Ellis writes in a very unique style, sort of movie script-like, and the pages fly because she hooks you in. What happened to Logan and his friends? In an all-too-sadly-true portrayal of our society, Ellis looks at the ugly side of some people’s family life—domestic abuse—and its consequences. A gripping book that will have you asking, “What would I do?”
