Footer Davis Probably is Crazy by Susan Vaught

Fontana (who prefers to go by "Footer") wants to be a journalist.  She practices her journalistic interviewing skills by trying to solve the mystery of what happened to two neighbor kids after the shooting of their grandpa and a fire at their house.  Footer also thinks she is going "crazy" like her mother.  Her mom had been diagnosed with bi-polar disorder and has had to be hospitalized and Footer is worried that some "visions" she is having mean she is well on her way to being hospitalized also.  Great story, with both a good message about mental illness paired with a great mystery.  I really like Footer, she was a great character.
