A review by jackelz
Fearbook Club by Dave Sharpe, Marco Matrone, Richard Hamilton

mysterious fast-paced
Whit Garcia is the new kid in school. Whit’s father was a photojournalist, where Whit got his love of photography, but he was killed while working in Kabul. Whit’s mother is overprotective and has crippling anxiety about losing him in a fire slash earthquake slash active shooter emergency, understandably. 

Whit is thrown into the Yearbook Club because the principal wants him to take more pictures around school. Also in the club are three other kids and their drama-inclined advisor. During their meetings, they uncover a mystery than spans decades — a child has gone missing from each graduating class. 

I really enjoyed the premise of the story and it’s supernatural elements. Whit is thrown into a new situation that he doesn’t want to be in but he makes the most out of it and finds his place. I loved seeing him use the dark room and develop his own photos; as that was my favorite part of high school. The twins, Hester and Hillary, were really great side characters, and Press came around too.
