(4) YA Idiosyncratic Sophie has murky memories of moving from England to Belgium, but only after turning fourteen does she question her parents' suspicious version of her early childhood. Their secret is ultimately less interesting than Sophie's fervent journey to uncover it, which she narrates using clever but unexplained word substitutions (e.g., "helix" for head, "mambo" for mom); readers will either find the device delightful or aggravating.
