The Rebel (Chroniclers, 2)

From the author of The Return comes a riveting new young adult thriller.

Holly Steinfeld doesn't want to put her investigative days behind her. Not now that the story she and the rest of the chroniclers published on the school newspaper has gone viral and gained national traction. Yet Holly is faced with two options; go to college and bury her reputation as an amateur sleuth or enroll at the police academy and spend the rest of her life digging into cold and unsolved cases.

The decision is made for her when she and her group of unlikely friends are taken hostage in a coffee shop robbery gone wrong.

Holly, Kyle, Cody, Heaven and Rowan were the talk of town when they convinced the police to reopen the Steinfeld case. Now, they're moving on and making grown up decisions. So, when they unexpectedly meet up at a café on West Adam's street, they decide to catch up. Except they've barely gotten past the awkward small talk when things take a turn for the worst.

Can they piece together the details of the afternoon they were taken hostage and find the truth behind the worst day of their lives?
