Reach for this book when your teenager is beginning to navigate the world of part-time jobs and increased independence, particularly if they are learning to balance the excitement of freedom with the necessity of personal safety. Trish's experience working at a large shopping mall serves as a suspenseful cautionary tale about being aware of one's surroundings and trusting one's instincts when something feels off. This 90s-era thriller explores themes of anxiety, bravery, and the transition into young adulthood. While the plot is a fast-paced mystery designed for entertainment, it provides a natural opening to discuss workplace safety and how to handle uncomfortable interactions with strangers.
