Description

Golden boy Myles is being blackmailed by someone sending texts threatening to expose a secret that could change his life forever.

Myles has it all: he’s popular, has an amazing girlfriend and won a full athletic scholarship to a top university. But on the day of his high school graduation ceremony, while he struggles to write his valedictorian speech, Myles receives a text that changes everything. Somehow, through text conversations in the next six hours, Myles has to discover the identity of the person threatening to reveal his darkest secret: his role in a rugby team hazing. And with so much to lose, Myles is willing to do whatever it takes to stop them.

This high-interest Orca Anchor (hi-lo) book is written specifically for teens reading below a grade 2.0 level. Countdown is written at a grade 1.0 reading level.

Featured Reviews

Thank you netgalley for this ARC. I am leaving an 100% honest review.

I really enjoyed the Countdown. It is not a long story but it grabs one's attention.

I really enjoy the care that was used to make this book Dyslexia friendly. Having interesting and age appropriate books is important to encourage anyone to read, this book does that.
