(4) YA When two schoolmates disappear, Kendall, who has OCD, notices a clue others don't: messages from the missing kids scratched into a school desk. Kendall's investigations into the desk's origin uncover a decades-old tragedy at a nearby reform school--but not before she nearly succumbs herself. Kendall's compulsions, anxiety, and complex relationships are more believable than the premise of a possessed desk enticing teens to suicide.
