The Books

Each book is narrated by someone whose life is bound up with the Larson family. Every one stands on its own — together, they build the whole town.

Book One

The Grade Shift

Narrated by Liv Larson, age 15

When fifteen-year-old Liv Larson notices a grade in the school portal that doesn't add up, she assumes it's a glitch — until she finds another. And another. Someone is changing grades across the school, and no one else seems to be asking why. As Liv follows the pattern through report cards, hallway rumors, and an investigation that costs her more than she expects, she uncovers a truth far more complicated than cheating — one that forces her to reckon with what fairness actually costs, and who gets to decide what someone deserves.

A story about noticing what others miss, and the harder work of understanding it.

Book Two

Sixteen from Memories

Narrated by Axel Larson, age 13

Thirteen-year-old Axel Larson has a summer, an idea, and one hundred days: collect sixteen family recipes from sixteen households around Clearview — one for each year of his sister Liv's life — and give them to her, handmade, on her sixteenth birthday. What starts as a birthday gift becomes something bigger: a door into the kitchens, histories, and quiet kept stories of an entire town, and the discovery that the people who feed you are often the ones who know you best.

A story about paying attention, and what you find when you finally do.

Community Secrets

Narrated by Rory Vega, age 16

Rory Vega has carried her mother's folder — two words in her mother's handwriting, SAND. REAL. — since the day she found it hidden among her mother's things. When old letters and land records start surfacing around Clearview, Rory realizes the folder isn't just her mother's secret. It's the unfinished record of four generations of women who wouldn't stop asking questions — and it's hers to finish.

A story about inheritance, courage, and the weight of a hometown's history.

The North Road

Narrated by Finn Larson, age 16

Finn Larson runs the same road most mornings without quite knowing why it matters to him — until an old photograph and a buried family history turn a quiet routine into an answer generations in the making. At home, the Larson family faces its own year of change, learning what it means to hold a family together when someone you love is far away.

A story about roots, patience, and the things worth running toward.

The Larson family's story doesn’t end here — more books are on the way, each one narrated by a different member of the family.

Do I need to read in order?

Not necessarily — each book stands on its own. But reading in order lets Clearview and its people grow richer with each book, so if you have the choice, start with Book One.
