THE THINGS WE NEVER SAID
Book One: Before the Sirens
By Luna Young

Nobody wakes up one day and suddenly breaks.

People break in small pieces.

Zoey King spends most of her life feeling invisible. Behind her camera lens, she watches everyone else move through the world while quietly carrying struggles she doesn't know how to share.

When a school project unexpectedly brings Zoey together with Ava, Mason, Noah, and Riley, an unlikely friendship begins to form. For the first time, she starts to feel seen.

But friendships don't erase pain.

Over the course of one school year, five teenagers navigate family problems, anxiety, identity, loneliness, first love, and the secrets they keep from the people who care about them most.

As warning signs go unnoticed and silence grows heavier, one night will change everything.

Some stories are about the moments people remember.

This is about everything that happened before the sirens.
