The Reading Buddy

"After the deaths of his best friend and stepdad, seventeen-year-old Blake Thomas can't escape the memories of that night ... the screams ... the blood ... the axe. Now, Blake suffers from social anxiety and making friends at his new home seems impossible. With his therapist's suggestion, Blake joins a social media site called The Reading Budy. It is supposed to be a way for him to slowly step back into social relationships, and it doesn't take long for him to become online friends with someone known as Charley17. Recovery seems to be within reach, but once the school year starts, three local teens quickly pull Blake into their own circle, and soon it appears that Charley17 doesn't want to share his new friend with anybody else."--Page 4 of cover.
