Cam needs to know why the man who killed his father is now stalking his family.

As much as life has changed forever since the death of his father, much has stayed the same for Cam. He's always had a great deal of responsibility around the house, but the burden is heavier now with the load of grief he's been carrying. After the man who was driving the truck that killed his father begins to turn up everywhere: at his work, in stores, at his sister's school. Cam feels pressure to keep his family safe and starts following his father's killer in search of answers.

This short novel is a high-interest, low-reading level book for middle-grade readers who are building reading skills, want a quick read or say they don't like to read! The epub edition of this title is fully accessible.

      Grades 6-9 This offering in the Orca Currents series laces elements of a paranoia thriller into a drama of a family struggling to overcome tragedy. Cams father died a year ago when he was run down in a freak car accident, and now the teen has to shoulder the burdens of increased responsibility for his mom and younger sister. What he doesnt count on adding to his plate? The man who struck his father coming back into their lives. Even worse, the man seems to be stalking Cams family, showing up at his job, at his sisters elementary school, and elsewhere around townbut is it all in Cams head? Compact, dialogue-driven writing keeps the atmosphere tense as Cam races toward a confrontation with his fathers killer. What is really at stake, though, is coming to terms with a father, though much missed, who was emotionally detached from the family even while alive. A resonant, quick read from a reliable reluctant-reader series.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2011, American Library Association.)

      Cameron's been the man of the house since his father was killed in a car accident. Now the driver is appearing everywhere--possibly stalking the family--and Cam has to decide the best way to handle the situation. Peterson keeps readers engaged from page one of this suspenseful and touching (yet admirably unsentimental) hi-lo book.
