Dropped! (2024)
A high-stakes, hi-lo survival story about fame, danger, and the cost of going viral.
Dex thinks a reality show is his chance to reinvent himself online — until the competition turns into something far more dangerous than he expected. Stranded on a remote island with five other teens, he must decide how far he’ll go for followers, fame, and a story the world can’t stop watching. A fast, tense read for reluctant and emerging readers.
