While the whole world watches.Four contestants, however, have alternative motives for joining the game, secret reasons to want to win despite the risk: money, obsession, fame…and revenge. One of them will stop at nothing to be the victor at the end of this adrenaline- and fear-fueled night.Praise for COME OUT, COME OUT, WHATEVER YOU ARE”Mystery-loving readers will keep turning the pages to uncover the characters’ secrets and learn the truth…A fun read for readers who prefer mild suspense and enjoy reality TV settings.” – Kirkus ReviewsPraise for GOOD GIRLS DIE FIRST”Foxfield’s focus on social niches and escalating suspense will appeal to fans of Karen McManus.” –Publishers Weekly”This gothic-inspired thriller with nods to Agatha Christie and Daphne du Maurier will keep readers on the edge of their seats and turning pages as quickly as they can. It is immersing, puzzling, and unpredictable, with a surprise ending that’s sure to have teens talking.” –School Library Journal”Undeniably creepy from the start… With a macabre escape and a surprising amount of heart, this will leave readers feeling oddly optimistic and perhaps a little kinder to themselves…” –The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books, STARRED Review” . . . the most gripping thriller of the year; hugely entertaining, high-octane and read-in-a-single-sitting.” –ReadingZone
