The Watcher Written by James Howe 

The book I am currently reading called The Watcher, is based on three different journal entries. Or rather three different perspectives. The three different people are, Chris Powell, a life guard at the beach,  Evan, a twelve year old boy with a family that's close to being separated, and Margaret, the girl that every other teen at the beach refers to as the watcher.

Chris Powell the life guard, prefers to spend his summer at the beach.  It's easier on him then staying at home. Chris feels as though he is in the way of his parents and their grieving because he feels like he can't replace his recently deceased brother. 

Evan, a twelve year old boy that seems to have the perfect family, and the perfect life that anyone would wish for, doesn't have that great of a family. Turns out the family is almost torn apart with a divorce. If his parent's get a divorce Evan and Callie will be split up. Evan would go with his father, Callie with her mother. 



Margaret, the girl that every other teen at the beach refers to as the watcher is this quiet, shy girl that no one really knows. She sits on the stairs all day watching everyone at the beach and writes down journal entries about Evan and Chris, and anyone else that catches her attention, but mainly those two. I don't know much about Margaret because I haven't read much from her point of view, but that is what I have so far.
