YA
After a bomb threat shuts down the school, Gabi joins the staff of a new anonymous helpline, then suspects that one of her callers may be planning another attack. A disingenuously tidy ending weakens the plot, but the lead-up is inexorably tense, and Gabi's newfound friendships and earnest but fumbling efforts to help her peers make her a relatable and engaging protagonist.
