Trouble with Lemons By: Daniel Hayes Imagine you and your friends are going out for quick dip in the community lake at midnight, even though you aren't suppose to leave the house. You then see two mysterious figures drive away after dropping something in the lake. While swimming, you hit something and realize it is a dead body. What are you going to do? In this story, the main character, Tyler, goes through a lot with his friend to figure out who killed the school janitor. He is keeping it a secret and just trying to keep his cool while finishing up his high school year, which is difficult with something so important. He is considered weird by kids in school because of his unusual behavior lately, but if they only knew the feeling of trying to find two killers while going through typical high School problems.

The story itself is interesting and I think that the feeling of being out of place will remain true to pre-teens and teenagers, no matter what decade they live in. When Tyler sneaks out with his friend at night, they witness a body being dumped, so Tyler feels responsible to find out how that man ended up being killed and who did it. However, he gets himself into trouble because he’s a new kid and doesn’t always get along very well with the students at his school. This novel has some nice action moments and also deals with social/emotional stuff, like feeling out of place and trying to make friends.
The basic premise holds true today, but I don’t think that this book ages well. The characters use a lot of 90’s slang, which might make it difficult for today’s teens to connect with the characters, because it’s hard to see themselves in them. However, it’s a quick and easy read, hits on some interesting concepts, and has the intrigue of the mystery, so it could serve as a decent gateway book if the slang stuff isn’t a problem. This is something I would have picked up as 10 or 11 year old if I had nothing else to read; decent, but not an amazing, must-read book.
