From Gordon Korman, the bestselling author of Restart, the story of a boy who's stuck at home with two broken legs... and who starts using cameras and a drone to spy on his classmates, neighbors, and a possible criminal who's come to town.
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 excellent book by Korman for middle grades students! Explores the topic of ‘doing something wrong but for good reasons’ in a way that is meaningful to children in middle grades students. A most have for realistic fiction fans!
What a fun and applicable story. Kids (and let’s be honest, adults) are glued to their screens, oblivious of what is around them. What if the screens could actually help discover a crime in progress? Would anyone be observant enough to catch it? Listening to this book, I connected with Carter, observing life from the outer circle. He never was really in the circle, but he could almost taste it. I wanted his discoveries to mean something, and when a disaster completely upends his intentions, I was really sad for him. Matt Godfrey does a great job of playing a middle school kid who just wants to be a part of the group. And Gordon Korman does it again - an engaging read sure to connect to almost any middle schooler.
I love Gordon Korman, he’s my favorite author. This is going to be one of my favorite books by him!
