The Escape

Coming from HarperTeen in Fall 2024!

Four prep school best friends. One mega yacht. A five-day cruise to paradise.

It should have been the spring break of a lifetime.

Until the final night, when 18-year-old heiress Giselle Haverford goes overboard—caught on video being pushed by the mysterious new girl, Maggie Mitchell.

Unfortunately, Maggie has no memory of what happened. Or how to defend herself, if she even can. After all, Maggie has a past—and a safe full of secrets she’d just as soon stay hidden. And she didn’t exactly take this trip for the fun of it.

But as it turns out, Maggie’s not the only person—on board or off—who might have wanted Giselle dead. And she’s hardly the only one keeping secrets…

Told in reverse from Day 5 to Day 1 of the voyage, and interspersed with excerpts from Giselle’s diary, news reports and police interviews, The Escape is a fast-paced thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat and guessing until the very beginning…
