The Rabbit's Foot An Ella Strawberry Mystery Book 1

Fifteen-year-old Elliana Stefanopoulos loses everything when her parents are presumed dead in a mob-related incident, forcing her into witness protection in rural Kentucky. Given a new identity as Ella Strawberry, her only possessions are a backpack and a rabbit's foot key fob that belonged to her mother. Resenting her new name, and the rules forced upon her, she must leave behind her California life and learn to navigate a town where nothing-and no one-is what it seems. As Ella struggles to fit in at her new school, her biology teacher suddenly dies in front of the class, and suspicion falls on her classmates. Convinced they're innocent, Ella launches her own investigation. But the deeper the digs, the more she uncovers small-town secrets and clues that suggest the teacher's death was no accident. Just as Ella begins to adjust to her new life, she discovers a hidden message that shatters everything she was told about her parents. As betrayal closes in, Ella must decide whether she can trust the people protecting her-and whether trusting God is a risk worth taking. Blending mystery and suspense with themes of faith, identity, courage, and belonging, The Rabbit's Foot is a Christian young adult mystery about one girl's search for the truth-and the courage to follow it whever it leads.
