New York Times bestselling author April Henry delivers a true-crime-style mystery featuring a teen determined to save a missing girl she sees in a disturbing photo. 
What if you found evidence of a crime, but no one believed you?
Seventeen-year-old Willow always has a camera around her neck. She volunteers as a photographer at Finding Home, an animal shelter. When Willow stumbles upon a lost camera memory card, it’s filled with hundreds of photos of teenage girls. Some are smiling, others look unaware, and a few seem terrified.
The police tell her taking photos in public isn’t a crime. But Willow can’t seem to let it go, especially after she finds her own photo on the card. So Willow teams up with new volunteer Dare to figure out what happened to the girls. As their investigation heats up, so does the chemistry between them. But everyone around Willow seems to have a secret: Finding Home’s owner, her own mom, and even Dare. When Willow learns that some of the girls on the camera card have gone missing, she realizes the unknown photographer might be a serial killer. Can Willow find him before he finds her?

      Gr 9 Up-Henry's latest features the alternating perspectives of teens Willow and Dare, volunteers at a Portland animal shelter, and Ryan, a real estate agent who preys on teenage girls and young women. Willow, who has a tough time at home with an ill mother and distant stepfather, finds a camera memory card containing many photos of girls-some don't appear to know they're being photographed, while others seem frightened-and learns one of them is missing. The novel's pacing picks up halfway through, once Willow begins investigating; the first half is primarily centered around the day-to-day of the shelter, which is in danger of closing. Dare, meanwhile, is dealing with guilt over an accident that led to his being on probation-volunteering is a condition of his plea deal. Ryan's chapters offer a truly predatory view as his behavior escalates rapidly from illicit photography to luring with ruses with intent to assault and more. Both Willow and Dare are wealthy, in contrast to the unhoused population near the animal shelter. The teens are generally written as compassionate, but some descriptions are lacking, as when Dare refers to city bus passengers as "freaks and weirdos." Willow and Ryan are white; Dare has light brown skin and Italian and Japanese heritage. Sexual assault and murder of teenagers occur but are not described in graphic detail. VERDICT Recommended where Henry's books and blends of coming-of-age and mystery are popular.-Amanda Mastrull

      Grades 9-12 Seventeen-year-old Willow loves photography and animals, so her volunteer job as photographer for the animal shelter Finding Home is the perfect fit. Since the shelter is underfunded and understaffed, she also knows how to do every other job. While out walking one of the shelter dogs, she finds a camera card, and when she looks at it to see if she can figure out to whom it belongs, she is disturbed to see it is filled with pictures of young women, some of whom look frightened. The police aren't very interested in it, so Willow, along with new volunteer Dare, decide to investigate. When she learns that a few of the girls are actually missing, she becomes convinced that a serial killer is on the loose. The police are still not interested, so she tries to get the killer's attention on her own. The fast-paced plot is narrated from three perspectives: Willow's, Dare's, and the serial killer's, which keeps the pages turning. Known for her deeply suspenseful novels, Henry has done it again.
