Snoop
by Gordon Korman
If Carter hadn't been checking his phone, he might have seen his brother coming down the ski slopes in his direction. And if Carter had seen his brother in time and avoided the crash, he might not have two broken legs right now. Oops. Now Carter is stuck at home for weeks, with both his legs in casts. Bored, he starts checking out the live feeds from police cams around his town. Before he knows it, he's obsessed-- watching his classmates when they don't know he's looking, and discovering some other very strange things going on that no one else is noticing. But what happens when Carter is found out--and the people he's watching know where he lives?

Another

Ever since the Zoom Incident, everyone treats him like a pariah, and his tics are worse than ever. When Morel appears, he's not like any friend Casey has ever met.

As his normally loving parents grow distant from Casey, they gush and fawn over Morel. Casey knows something is wrong--but with no end in sight to the sleepover, he's exhausted. And in the dark, out of the corner of his eye, Morel doesn't look like a kid at all...
