Hollow Creek: Red Thread

By Rae Wilder

In a town where everyone knows your secrets-until they don't-three seniors run a quiet "lost & found for truths."

When a counterfeit pill incident shatters Hollow Creek's Homecoming, Jae, Maya, and Theo follow a red thread of anonymous kindnesses, cryptic notes, and buried loyalties. The trail points to a trusted peer-and to a twenty-year secret their favorite teacher can no longer keep. As the trio hunts for the source before someone else gets hurt, the light they shine on others forces them to face their own.

Hollow Creek: Red Thread is a fast, heartfelt upper-YA mystery about found family, small-town secrets, and the hard work of repair. Consequences are real, romance is closed-door, and hope is earned.
