From the New York Times bestselling author of All the Missing Girls and The Perfect Stranger comes a captivating thriller about two teens who connect when each discovers a mysterious radio frequency, which suggests their family tragedies are mysteriously connected. After surviving an infamous family tragedy, sixteen-year-old Kennedy Jones has made it her mission to keep her brother's search through the cosmos alive. But then something disturbs the frequency on his radio telescope--a pattern registering where no signal should transmit. In a neighboring county, seventeen-year-old Nolan Chandler is determined to find out what really happened to his brother, who disappeared the day after Nolan had an eerie premonition. There hasn't been a single lead for two years, until Nolan picks up an odd signal--a pattern coming from his brother's bedroom. Drawn together by these strange signals--and their family tragedies--Kennedy and Nolan search for the origin of the mysterious frequency. But the more they uncover, the more they believe that everything's connected--even their pasts--as it appears the signal is meant for them alone, sharing a message that only they can understand. Is something coming for them? Or is the frequency warning them about something that's already here? Gr 9 Up{amp}mdash;Six months ago, two sudden deaths changed the course of 16-year-old Kennedy Jones's life. To cope, she turns to her brother Elliot's abandoned research station in their family's old barn, where he used a satellite to scan for signs of extraterrestrial life. One county over, Nolan Chandler searches for his older brother Liam, whose disappearance remains unsolved after two years. Though his parents scour missing persons reports, Nolan has a sense that the explanation may be paranormal after picking up an unusual signal in Liam's room with his EMF reader. When Kennedy posts on a technology forum about the strange signals she's picking up with Elliot's satellite, it draws Nolan and Kennedy together in their search for answers. Their individual journeys through grief are multifaceted and utterly believable, though the thread of mystery that ties them together feels muddled by the book's conclusion. This novel excels particularly in Kennedy's strained relationship with her young uncle Joe, whose unexpected guardianship Kennedy views with a nuanced mix of gratitude and reluctance. This quiet portrayal of two families rocked by tragedy is not particularly fast-paced, but the dynamics among the characters as they all search for their own version of peace is gripping all the same. This sensitive and nuanced depiction of grief in all of its forms will surely engross fans of crime stories and family dramas alike, though any readers hoping for a paranormal mystery will find those elements lacking.
