The award-winning New York Times bestseller!
Sometimes your enemy is your only hope . . .
Willow Chance is a twelve-year-old genius, obsessed with nature and diagnosing medical conditions, who finds it comforting to count by 7s. It has never been easy for her to connect with anyone other than her adoptive parents.
Emily Bell finally has everything she wants – including the boy she loves, Sam Border. But little do they know that Clarence Border, Sam’s psychopathic father, is planning a jailbreak . . . and he’s coming after Emily and his sons to get revenge.
Then a tragedy changes Willow’s life – her parents both die in a car crash. As Willow pieces her new life back together, she discovers the connections that bind all of us as families.
Like I’ll Be There, Just Call My Name is a riveting, emotional drama.

The thrilling follow-up to the award-winning Cracks. In a paranoid, near-future Britain, Kyla hides out from the oppressive authorities, but even she can’t avoid the ruthless Counterinsurgency and Anti-Terror Squads, known as CATS. Instead of imprisoning her, the CATS cut her a deal. They want to brainwash Kyla, and use the talents that make her elusive – her athletic ability, cunning and quick-thinking – to turn her into a valuable asset of their own . . . hunting down the very people fighting for her freedom. Will Kyla escape? Or will she be trapped forever?
