Observed (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798244399943)

The quiet ones see everything.
The question is what happens when someone sees them back?

Maya Chen has spent years being invisible at school. She sits in the corner, keeps her head down, and watches. While everyone else talks, she notices patterns. Who is lying. Who is scared. Who is hiding something. She writes it all down, telling herself it is just a harmless habit.

Until the message appears.

You've been observed.

Suddenly, Maya learns she is not the only one watching. She is recruited into a secret global network called the Observers, made up of kids just like her. Overlooked and underestimated, they use their ability to notice what others miss to uncover crimes no one else can see.

What starts as a simple school assignment quickly turns serious. Blackmail. Cheating rings. Criminal networks hiding in plain sight. As Maya digs deeper, she must decide when to stay invisible and when to step forward, because this time the cost of silence could be someone else's future.

Smart, suspenseful, and emotionally gripping, Observed is a story about power, privacy, and the strength of kids no one notices until it is too late.

Perfect for readers who love:

• Smart mysteries and slow burn suspense

• Quiet protagonists with hidden strengths

• Middle school and young adult thrillers with real world stakes

• Themes of observation, trust, and courage

Once you start reading, there is no going back.
