About this ebook
When Alice Robbie receives a strange call from her father, instructing her to drop everything, get in his precious Corvette, and meet him at her favorite ice cream shop, she can’t help feeling like something is wrong. But before she can even leave, Alice discovers the horrifying truth: Her father has been murdered.
Even worse, someone has hacked into Alice’s email and framed her with a confession of guilt. With no one to corroborate her story, Alice has no choice but to become a fugitive. Caught up in a living nightmare, Alice must figure out who really killed her father, and why, before the police can put her behind bars—or the killer puts her six feet under . . .
Buckle up for this fast-paced thrill ride from the bestselling author of The Face on the Milk Carton.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This book was pretty unrealistic. I guess stranger things have happened in real life but I just couldn't get in to this book enough to really enjoy it.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Cooney has written a tight plot for this thriller, and the suspense doesn't let up until the very last page. Although Wanted! shows the main character, a typical teenage girl, confronting anguish, confusion, and fear after she witnesses the murder of her father, the story nevertheless maintains the pace of a thriller, and the action is consistently seen from the point of view of a teenager, whose tendency is to look toward the necessities of the moment rather than to dwell in the major catastrophe that has just befallen her.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Loved this book, an easy quick read finished it in one sitting. Cooney is great in being able to hook you into the book :) I was wanting to run and hide myself while reading it, def. a must read for susupense lovers :)
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5There's this young girl named Alice who's parents are divorced.She's staying with her dad for right now. Her dad left her alone at the house while he was at work and while Alice was painting her toe nails,she had got this scary call from her dad demanding her to drive his red corvette and bring these two disks but Alice drives and couldn't find him.Where is he?
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It is just like the other series I used to read Conspiracy 365
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5When Ally gets a phone call from her dad asking her to grab a couple of discs and drive (without a license!) in his corvette to "the place where she gets ice cream," she knows something is wrong. But when someone breaks into the house while she's in it, Ally makes a run for it - only to find out that her dad has been murdered and she's the prime suspect. Will she be able to evade the police AND prove her innocence? This was a fun, fluffy, and clean teen thriller published back in the late '90s and recently re-released. I read it practically in one sitting. There are certain aspects of the book that didn't translate well to the 21st century. For example, this was written in a day when most people didn't have a cellphone - is that something today's teenager can even fathom? Ally made some stupid choices in this book (let's face it, it's hard to prove you're innocent when you're running away!), but in the end she managed to stay true to herself. This book would be appropriate for 11-14 year olds, and could be enjoyed by either boys or girls (i.e. it's high on suspense and low on romance). In fact, it made me miss the day in which the love triangle wasn't a required plot device for YA. Oh, those were the days!

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Alice Robie receives a phone call from her extremely excited father. He instructs her to bring some computer disks named TWIN to the ice cream parlor where they often ate. When Alice decides to change and get ready, the intruder arrives. She hides under her father’s corvette and waits for the man to leave. The killer speaks to her and Alice recognizes his voice. While waiting for her father, she learns she has been set up and someone sent her mother an email confessing that she murdered her father. This story has Alice running from the police in malls, sleeping in other student’s rooms in the university and even stealing cars to try and figure out who killed her father. This book would be great for strong readers in middle and all at the high school level who enjoy fast-paced who-dun-nits.
