Coming Fall 2025:

Spotted

A HiLo (High Interest, Low Reading Level) young adult novel.

Being invisible is safe, but it’s lonely. 

Ruthie has spent most of her life hiding:

from friendships,

from being noticed,

from the shame she feels over her mother’s hoarding.

To connect, Ruthie gives anonymous gifts to her classmates. When she’s spotted by Trey—a boy who is charming, persistent, and sees her in ways no one ever has, she fears all she’s kept hidden will be exposed.

Then Ruthie realizes the new white patch on her skin is vitiligo. How can she stay invisible when she’s covered in spots? And is being invisible what she wants now anyway?
