Prolific author Todd Strasser (Boot Camp) combines suspense with a modern technological backdrop in Wish You Were Dead, the first title in a "thrillogy." What would you do if you suspected that someone in your school, perhaps a close friend, is responsible for the mysterious disappearances of some of the most popular students? When a blogger writes that he wishes a girl named Lucy Cunningham would die, the teen vanishes. Madison Archer, Lucy's close friend, is especially frightened because she was the last person to see her before she disappeared. In addition, Madison is being victimized by someone who is sending her anonymous e-mails and notes warning her about her own questionable role in the "in" crowd and future disappearances. When the blogger describes frustrations with two other students, they vanish, and the whole community panics. Madison, unsure of what is going to happen next and of those around her, tries to solve the mystery on her own. This is a top-notch suspense thriller. The other two titles in the "thrillogy" are Blood On My Hands and Kill You Last.
