The Biker

A parent might reach for this book when their teen is navigating the social anxieties of a new school or environment, or if they are looking for a suspenseful but not overly graphic thriller. This story centers on Laurie, the new girl in town who is excited to make friends and catch the attention of a mysterious boy on a motorcycle. Her excitement turns to terror when she begins receiving threatening notes from a stalker who calls themself 'The Biker.' The book is a fast-paced mystery that explores themes of trust, fear, and relying on your own instincts when you feel unsafe. It's a great choice for teens who enjoy a classic 'whodunit' and provides a good entry point for conversations about personal safety and judging others by appearances.
