Cold Calls


Overview

Three high school students - Eric, Shelly, and Fatima - have one thing in common: ""I know your secret."" Each one is blackmailed into bullying specifically targeted schoolmates by a mysterious caller who whispers from their cellphones and holds carefully guarded secrets over their heads. But how could anyone have obtained that photo, read those hidden pages, uncovered this buried past? Thrown together, the three teens join forces to find the stranger who threatens them-before time runs out and their shattering secrets are revealed.

Reviews

Benoit s handling of cultural diversity, adolescent religious awareness, and everyday technology in teen lives makes for satisfying, thought-provoking reading. Booklist Bullying, blackmail, and bad choices are interwoven through this cautionary tale in a manner that's relatable and engaging. VOYA With a quick pace, this psychological thriller takes readers for a ride, providing clues to the secrets the characters are trying to hide but without disclosing all of the information until later chapters. The coldness of the caller in relation to the damage he/she is doing to the bullying victims as well as the blackmail victims is particularly chilling. School Library Journal
