Tansy is comfy in her pj's. She's not going to do anything but text. Only two words could ruin this day-little sister. Then Teera needs to go to the library. Tansy has to drive her. Ugh. But she's a good big sister, so she does it. On the way home, she's forced to take a detour. It wouldn't be bad, but Tansy doesn't know the roads. They're only leading the girls farther from home. When and where will the nightmare end? This series of books was designed specifically for struggling teen readers. The contemporary fiction is written at accessible levels and provides substantive content without being edgy. The relatable plots appeal to teens, especially those who are reluctant to read. Books in the series quickly grab their interest with fast-paced storylines that feature realistic, sometimes larger-than-life teen characters readers can identify with or would like to know. Then there is an unexpected twist. The characters' lives are suddenly on the edge-of fame, fear, or even sanity. What starts out as fun or routine becomes a nightmare, real or imagined. As characters are tested in mind, body, and spirit, readers have a sense of being there to experience the adventure.
