(4) YA From the outside, eighth grader Ian seems fine: he's the school yearbook photographer along with his best friend Teddy. But when Teddy disappears, Ian struggles with inner voices, memory gaps, and his relationship with his psychologically abusive father. For a thriller, the book is at once too complex and too transparent, but sympathetic Ian is so clearly in need of help that readers will want to stick by him until the end.
