Carol Plum- Ucci. The Body of Christopher Creed. New York, NY: Harcourt Publishers, 2000. ISBN 0-1520-2388-7
When Christopher Creed goes missing many suspect some of his classmates of foul play, a suspicion aroused at the fact that many of them tortured him daily while he was still around. His classmates suspect his over bearing military mother of either driving him to suicide or of driving him to run away. When Torey Adams, a popular kid from a good family, gets implicated in the case he goes to extremes to prove that his new friends had nothing to do with the disappearance. While Plum-Ucci uses some pretty unoriginal voices and cliché language for her teen characters, the story line is really good. I think this book would be enjoyed by most teens as they could relate to being teased or seeing others teased by classmates, or living under the pressure of overly strict parents.
