"When no one is watching, I dance. I leap and I spin and I prance 'round the room ... When no one is watching, I dance. When everyone's watching, I hide. I hide like the cat alongside the big chair, I scrunch myself down and pretend I'm not there." A young introvert has no problem expressing herself when she's alone, but when other people are around she'd rather not be noticed. Eileen Spinelli's lilting narrative skillfully uses the rhythm, pacing and word choice to reflect the duality. There is no judgment, just matter-of factness about her desire to be away from the crowd. But she also values connection, and in her friend Loretta, who is "shy too," she has found a kindred spirit, someone with whom she can be silly or quiet. "Together we don't care who's watching at all." Highly Commended, 2014 Charlotte Zolotow Award (Ages 4-7)

"I was knocked over by the momentum of an intense psychological thriller that doesn’t let go until the final page. This is a terrific read." – Alafair Burke, New York Times bestselling author

*A Marie Claire Book Club Pick* 

Rear Window meets Get Out in this gripping thriller from a critically acclaimed and New York Times Notable author, in which the gentrification of a Brooklyn neighborhood takes on a sinister new meaning…

Sydney Green is Brooklyn born and raised, but her beloved neighborhood seems to change every time she blinks. Condos are sprouting like weeds, FOR SALE signs are popping up overnight, and the neighbors she’s known all her life are disappearing. To hold onto her community’s past and present, Sydney channels her frustration into a walking tour and finds an unlikely and unwanted assistant in one of the new arrivals to the block—her neighbor Theo.

But Sydney and Theo’s deep dive into history quickly becomes a dizzying descent into paranoia and fear. Their neighbors may not have moved to the suburbs after all, and the push to revitalize the community may be more deadly than advertised.

When does coincidence become conspiracy? Where do people go when gentrification pushes them out? Can Sydney and Theo trust each other—or themselves—long enough to find out before they too disappear?
