Para kay Thea Laureano, isang tahimik at mapagmasid na estudyante mula sa San Ignacio, ang lahat ay nagsimula sa isang kuwadernong luma-pag-aari ng kanyang amang nawawala. May mga pahinang puno ng kodigo, larawan, at lihim na tila itinago mula sa buong bayan. Sa tulong ng bagong transferee na si Reyes, unti-unti nilang binuksan ang mga kwento ng apat na estudyanteng misteryosong nawala noong 1998. Sa kanilang paghahanap ng katotohanan, nalantad ang isang sinadyang pagkakalimot-kasama na ang sangkot na mga guro, opisyal, at mismong munisipyo. Mula sa abandoned classroom hanggang sa lumang CCTV, mula sa silid 3R hanggang sa hukay sa gubat, pinili nilang suungin ang takot upang isalaysay ang kasaysayan. Ang kuwaderno ay naging sandata, taguan ng alaala, at tinig ng paglaban. Ngunit sa bawat katotohanang natutuklasan, may kapalit na tahimik na banta. At sa huli-kanino mo itataya ang iyong buhay, kung ang kalaban ay ang mismong sistemang dapat nagpoprotekta sa'yo? Ang Huling Linya sa Kuwaderno ay isang mystery-thriller na Tagalog, isinulat para sa mga kabataang naghahanap ng lakas upang magsalita, at para sa bawat Pilipino na naniniwala na ang kasaysayan ay hindi lamang binabasa-kundi isinusulat muli.

Limang taon mula nang makitil ang kanyang kababata sa giyera kontra droga, isinumpa ni Clair na kailanman ay hindi na siya babalik pa sa probinsya ng Quezon. Kinumbinsi niya ang sariling kuntento na siya sa buhay bilang isang simpleng mamamahayag sa Maynila. Ngunit nang maatasan siyang sumulat ng isang lathalain kaugnay ng insidenteng nagsilbing bangungot sa kanya gabi-gabi, isang bagay lamang ang napagtanto ni Clair - hindi gano'n kadali makatakas sa mga alaalaang pilit niyang ibinaon sa limot. At ayaw man niyang aminin sa sarili, ang kanyang nakaraan ay habambuhay na magiging bahagi niya. [The Wattys 2025 Shortlist] Isang nobela, 2024
