Books like Exposed by Susan Vaught

Chan Shealy is a dedicated baton‑twirler and top of her class, living with the close security and expectations of her parents. True to her sense of responsibility, she believes she can navigate the online world safely and independently. Yet when an appealing online chat group draws her in, Chan finds herself entangled with a predator who exploits the privacy and trust she has granted. The story explores her conflict as she confronts the dangers lurking behind the screen, the limits of parental control, and the emotional aftermath of being a sexual abuse victim. Beyond the suspense, Exposed offers a realistic look at the challenges facing teenagers who seek connection online, encouraging dialogue about family life, school safety, and the importance of questioning seemingly harmless digital interactions.
