synopsis: Wait – is that a red panda on the cover of my newest book, SNOOP?

Yes, but I can’t explain why. It would be a gross violation of any sense of Spoiler Alert. All I can say is it’s pretty amazing what you can see if you look hard enough.

If Carter hadn’t been checking his phone, he might have seen his brother coming down the ski slope. And if Carter had seen his brother in time and avoided the crash, he might not be stuck at home for weeks, with both legs in casts.

He’s never been so bored. Just to connect himself to the world, he starts checking out the live feeds from cameras around town.

Before he knows it, he’s hooked – watching his classmates when they don’t know he’s looking, spying on neighbors, and discovering some other highly unusual things – things that no one else is noticing. Things that just might be illegal.

But the biggest problem is once you start snooping, the hardest thing is to look away.

When Ridge reveals that he’s the world’s first time traveler, Michael and Gibby are stunned but curious. As Ridge immerses himself in 1999—fascinated by microwaves, basketballs, and malls—Michael discovers that his new friend has a book that outlines the events of the next twenty years, and his curiosity morphs into something else: focused determination. Michael wants—no, needs—to get his hands on that book. How else can he prepare for the future? But how far is he willing to go to get it?
