2023 Readers' Favorite Bronze Medal Winner in Young-Adult Mystery Genre

Nothing stays the same forever.

Still grieving the recent loss of her father, Emily arrives in a new house and a new town feeling lonely and out of place. She finds refuge beside the train tracks hidden in the woods behind her home-and an unexpected friend in Tommy, a boy who seems to understand exactly what she is going through.

As spring turns to summer, their friendship deepens through long afternoons and shared adventures. For the first time since her father's death, Emily begins to feel less alone. But Tommy is keeping secrets, and the more Emily tries to understand him, the more questions emerge.

He is the best friend she has ever had. So why can't she completely trust him?

With tantalizing clues, heartfelt emotion, and surprising twists, The Tracks is a moving young adult mystery about grief, friendship, and the truths hidden just beyond sight.
