Publisher Description
Sophomore Cammie Bliss has long been labeled a stalker by her peers, but when a cute new boy named Toby arrives at her small town high school, Cammie has a chance to be "normal." Trouble is, she can't really help herself and she's up to her old tricks of "intense observation and following" pretty quick. Making things worse, her younger brother is dating one of the most popular girls in the school, her parents have separated, and her dad has begun to watch their house most nights. Cammie has simply got to figure out why she behaves the way she does, and end it once and for all.
Find out if Cammie is successful in Carley Moore's hilrious and poignant The Stalker Chronicles.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Deserved or not, Cammie Bliss's reputation as a stalker has been cemented for years, but when new guy Toby moves to her small town, Cammie has a chance for a fresh start. This proves hard, as her sophomore year is already filled with challenges: her parents are splitting up, her younger brother is dating a popular cheerleader who snubs Cammie, and Toby himself is elusive, with a secret past of his own. Mixed into the present-day action are flashbacks to Cammie's past stories of slipping notes into lockers, calling a boy daily under the pretense of needing homework help, and taking a few too many photographs of a student athlete while working for the yearbook. For the most part, it's pretty tame behavior, just unsettling enough to raise red flags among Cammie's classmates and lead to her ostracism. Debut author Moore paints a picture of an awkward girl who, more than anything, just doesn't know how to engage with other people. Her characters are complex and sympathetic, particularly Cammie's family, as it tries to hold itself together. Ages 12 up.
