Secrets under pressure at school

An anonymous email puts four seventh graders—Owen, Gemma, Ally, and Todd—under the same threat: follow instructions or risk having a secret exposed. Though they barely know one another, they must handle the blackmailer’s tasks together during a single school day. The setup brings a group of initially disconnected classmates into a shared problem, with each student’s private stakes tied to the same demand. As the instructions grow troubling and the students learn more about the blackmailer’s plan, the central question shifts from keeping secrets to whether they can stop what is unfolding.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Middle-grade readers interested in school-set suspense.
  • Readers who enjoy stories about classmates forced to work together.
  • Readers drawn to mysteries involving secrets and blackmail.

Book overview

"A compulsive middle grade thriller." -- Book Riot

 

The email arrives Sunday night: Do exactly what I say, when I say it, or I will reveal your secret.

On Monday morning, seventh graders Owen, Gemma, Ally, and Todd, who have nothing in common and barely know each other, must work together and follow the instructions of an anonymous blackmailer. None of them want to go along with the blackmailer's strange instructions, but each of them have a secret they must protect at all costs.

Set during a single day of school, the students race against the clock to complete a unsettling list of tasks. They'll do whatever it takes to keep their secrets hidden . . . but when they discover what the blackmailer has in mind, they realize things may have just gone too far. Can they put a stop to the plan, or is it too late?
