Don't Let The Forest In by Cg Drews

As alluring as it is unsettling, award-winning author CG Drews' debut YA psychological horror will leave readers breathless and hesitant to venture deeper into the woods. Once upon a time, Andrew had cut out his heart and given it to this boy, and he was very sure Thomas had no idea that Andrew would do anything for him. Protect him. Lie for him. Kill for him. High school senior Andrew Perrault finds refuge in the twisted fairytales that he writes for the only person who can ground him to reality—Thomas Rye, the boy with perpetually ink-stained hands and hair like autumn leaves. And with his twin sister, Dove, inexplicably keeping him at a cold distance upon their return to Wickwood Academy, Andrew finds himself leaning on his friend even more. But something strange is going on with Thomas. His abusive parents have mysteriously vanished, and he arrives at school with blood on his sleeve. Thomas won't say a word about it, and shuts down whenever Andrew tries to ask him questions...

Animorphs Book 4: The Message by K. A. Applegate

Animorphs Book 4: The Message expands the stakes so that the #Animorphs understand that they are fighting for the whole planet. The team is completed when they rescue Aximili. Cassie learns both heavy responsibility and weightless joy.

Part of what this book does really well is take a kind of breather with a much slower quest. Their journey is urgent but it has a lot of travel time which leads itself to introspection. Cassie has a really good understanding of her fellow Animorphs and her books are usually the most insightful about the group as whole, so it was nice to see small insights and points of future character growth be established in this book.
