Do you ever wonder what someone is thinking?

This story takes you into the mind of three different people. The watcher, Evan, who made up the name "The Watcher," his little sister Callie, and the lifeguard Chris, who tries to reach out to the watcher but only in vain.

The book The Watcher tells us about a family that is getting a divorce, a boy living miles from his mother and father. The father is abusive, and the mother is so afraid that she sits in a room with the door closed and turns up her music as loud as she can so she can't hear her daughterıs screams.

The Watcher has been spying on Evan & Callie's family for almost a month now without them noticing. One day while they are out on the beach she sneaks into their house and steals a photograph of them together, their mother's shawl, and Evan's kite. In her mind the Watcher is sure to think of an excuse in case the family walks in. She comes up with..."Just looking thank you," to copy the way she would have answered if she were in a store, but she wasn't. She was in someone's home. Later her father finds the photo with her face glued in as if she was part of the family and in her mind she was .Find out if she gets the love she needs.

This book is for people that love to read about real life and the problems that come up along the way.I loved this book it was truly a page turner,I highly recommend it!!
