Don't Turn Around is an edgy, dark, fast-paced trilogy that delves into a hidden world of global conspiracy, cyber-activism and a terrifying supernatural experiment. For fans of The Summoning and Wake—with the drama and emotional high stakes of Before I Fall—Don't Turn Around fuses complex romance and a thrilling plot involving two memorable lead characters: Peter, an unlikely hacker crusading for justice, and Noa, a fellow technophile with a dark past and an even darker secret.

Sixteen-year-old Noa has been a victim of the system ever since her parents died. Now living off the grid and trusting no one, she uses her computer hacking skills to stay safely anonymous and alone. But when she wakes up on a surgical table in an empty warehouse with an IV in her arm and no memory of how she got there, Noa starts to wish she had someone on her side. Enter Peter Gregory. A rich kid and the leader of a hacker alliance, Peter needs people with Noa's talents on his team. Especially after a shady corporation threatens his life. But what Noa and Peter don't realize is that Noa holds the key to a terrible secret, and there are those who'd stop at nothing to silence her for good.

Industry Reviews

Girl with the Dragon Tattoo for preteens and teens, a surefire hit." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "A tight, well-written thriller from a best-selling adult writer. The action and the developments come fast and furious all the way to the end." -- School Library Journal (starred review) "Be prepared to stay up all night reading." -- Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) (starred review) "A fast-paced, rip-roaring thriller for all ages." -- Harlan Coben, #1 New York Times bestselling author "Gagnon's writing draws readers effortlessly into an adrenaline-packed ride.
