If the Witness Lied / Caroline B. Cooney / 213 pages

Jack is upset when he discovers Cheryl has invited Angus and his movie crew to film his family for a reality show on dysfunctional families.  She was "witness" to his Dad's accident and blamed Tris, who was two years old at the time, as his murderer.  She also blames Tris for the death of Jack's mother as she chose death by liver cancer over chemo that would have killed her baby (Tris).  Jack has withdrawn from school activities to care for Tris while Cheryl redoes the house and watches TV.  Jack discovers pictures on his Dad's cell phone that cause him to doubt everything Cheryl has said.  This book is real page-turner!!
