Ask Me by Kimberly Pauley

Aria is an Oracle.  Ask her a question and she must tell the truth.  Unfortunately the truth often comes out as weird cryptic verse.  This blessing/curse has lost Aria the parents who couldn't cope, and potential friends she can't let in her world.  Living in a small Florida town, Aria drifts through school, waiting for the day she outgrows her talent.  Then a schoolmate is murdered; can Aria risk exposing her secret to solve the crime?

This book offers a quick read and an interesting retelling of the Cassandra tale.  The plot is a bit predictable - the cliffhanger is fairly obvious.  Perfect for readers who like a modern setting with a little magic.
