Reach for this book when your teenager expresses frustration that their instincts are being ignored or when they feel like their concerns are being brushed off as 'drama' by the adults in their lives. This classic 90s suspense novel follows Janie, a teen who becomes convinced she is being watched and followed, only to find that those closest to her are the most skeptical of her fear. It is a sharp exploration of gaslighting, intuition, and the lonely experience of being the only person who sees a threat. While the story provides the high-stakes thrills of a mystery, its core value lies in validating a young person's internal alarm system. It opens a vital door for parents to discuss the difference between anxiety and intuition, and how to stay safe when you feel vulnerable. It is age-appropriate for middle and high schoolers who enjoy fast-paced, realistic thrillers without excessive graphic content.
