You rock!” “Love your videos.” Kevin Sanders was feeling the love.That’s what being a social media star was about. Having millions of fans and even more money. And why shouldn’t he? Kevin worked hard for it. All the prank videos he made. His pictures on Instagram. Companies should pay him to be part of that fame. He never thought it would all go away. What did he do wrong? 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.
