In Jefferson, monsters don't always hide in the dark. Sometimes, they smile.
Fourteen-year-old Sarah Taylor knows how to disappear. After years of drifting between towns with a tightly wound military father and a mother retreating deeper into silence, she's mastered the art of staying invisible—safe.
But her new town doesn't want quiet.
When Sarah's stolen private story hits the school rumor mill—alongside whispers of a haunted cave and a vanished gangster's treasure—she's pulled into a mystery that refuses to stay buried.
With sharp-tongued classmate Tommy at her side, Sarah begins unearthing Jefferson's legacy of grief, silence, and power—one etched into the town's roots and hidden just beneath the polished hallways of her school.
To survive the truth, Sarah must make a choice: stay hidden, or finally speak.
A haunting middle grade mystery about friendship, memory, and the courage it takes to stop running. Perfect for readers ages 10–14 who love stories with heart, history, and just a hint of shadows.
