Description



About the Book



Moving to Elko, Nevada, as part of the Witness Security Program, Jack Osborne becomes "Zach" and is piecing together a new life when he finds himself in danger again--and this time his action could determine the fates of everyone he cares about.



Book Synopsis



Lies and secrets abound in this dark and suspenseful story about a boy who must run from his past but can't outrun the danger.

Zach Granger's whole identity is a lie--his name, his hometown, even his eye color. All because of one night that changed everything: The night masked men broke into his house, threatened his family, and ransacked their home. Why? Because his father had been arrested for drug trafficking--and he snitched.

Now in the Witness Security Program, Zach moves to Elko, Nevada, a town in the middle of nowhere. He's having trouble getting used to this new life when he meets Sam, the strangest custodian at his new school, and Catalin, a girl who might just make his whole uprooting worth it. But just as Zach finally begins to pull himself together, he finds himself in danger again. And this time his actions could determine the fates of everyone he cares about most.

With complex characters and heartfelt moments, this story of identity and truth will keep the pages turning.
