All Fall Down

All Fall Down is the thrilling first book in the Embassy Row series, perfect for young adult readers aged 12-18. It follows Grace Blakely, a teenager grappling with the trauma of her mother's death, which she believes was murder despite everyone else's insistence it was an accident. Sent to live with her powerful ambassador grandfather in the politically charged world of Embassy Row, Grace must navigate new friendships and potential enemies while secretly investigating her mother's past. The book delves into themes of grief, trust, identity, and justice, set against a backdrop of international intrigue and danger. Parents should be aware of themes of murder, peril, and the psychological toll of not being believed.

Grace Blakely is absolutely certain of three things: 1. She is not crazy. 2. Her mother was murdered. 3. Someday she is going to find the killer and make him pay. As certain as Grace is about these facts, nobody else believes her -- so there's no one she can completely trust. Not her grandfather, a powerful ambassador. Not her new friends, who all live on Embassy Row. Not Alexei, the Russian boy next door, who is keeping his eye on Grace for reasons she neither likes nor understands. Everybody wants Grace to put on a pretty dress and a pretty smile, blocking out all her unpretty thoughts. But they can't control Grace -- no more than Grace can control what she knows or what she needs to do. Her past has come back to hunt her . . . and if she doesn't stop it, Grace isn't the only one who will get hurt. Because on Embassy Row, the countries of the world stand like dominoes, and one wrong move can make them all fall down.
