When Calla Merritt signs in for what should be a normal school day, she doesn't expect her name to become a weapon.
A string of eerie messages starts showing up-numbers, warnings, and a symbol that keeps repeating: a lantern. At first it feels like a cruel prank. Then the rules begin. Doors unlock when they shouldn't. Visitor stickers print with the wrong names. Official records start rewriting reality in real time-making it look like Calla did things she never did, went places she never went, and signed out when she never touched a pen.
With rumors spreading and the system turning against her, Calla has only a few people she can trust: her sharp, relentless school advocate Ms. Kincaid, her best friend Avery Stanton, and Officer Devlin Shaw-who realizes this isn't just harassment. It's a program. A method. A role someone is trained to play.
As the night escalates into a locked-down maze of corridors, hidden access points, and a chilling space known as Room 30, Calla learns the real threat isn't one person-it's a system designed to manufacture consent, weaponize authority, and make everyone believe the paperwork over the truth.
Because in The Lantern List, the scariest thing isn't being watched.
It's being rewritten.
Fast, twisty, and impossible to put down, The Lantern List is a high-stakes YA thriller about control, courage, and the one thing a corrupt system can't erase-proof.
