Slide

Slide introduces Vee, a high school student whose supposed narcolepsy is actually a unique psychic ability: she 'slides' into other people's minds. The story takes a dark turn when she experiences her best friend Sophie's murder from the killer's perspective. Enmeshed in a web of secrets and danger, Vee must use her power to find the killer, all while trying to keep her ability a secret. This book is a suspenseful young adult mystery with a supernatural twist, exploring themes of friendship, justice, and self-discovery. Please note, while listed for ages 4-11 in some databases, the mature themes of murder and high-stakes peril make it much more suitable for a young adult audience, typically ages 12 and up.

Vee knows Sophie didn't kill herself. She was murdered. She knows because she was there. Everyone believes Vee is narcoleptic, but she doesn't actually fall asleep during these episodes: when she passes out she slides into somebody else's mind and experiences the world through that person's eyes. But nothing could have prepared Vee for what happens one October night, when she slides into the mind of someone holding a bloody knife, standing over Sophie's slashed body. Enmeshed in a terrifying web of secrets, lies, and danger and with no one to turn to, Vee must find a way to unmask the killer before he or she strikes again.
