Amazon picks up Harlan Coben YA thriller Shelter, starring Jaden Michael

Variety

Michael, who played a young Colin Kaepernick on Netflix's Colin in Black & White, will star in the YA thriller based on the first novel in Coben’s Mickey Bolitar trilogy. Michael stars as Bolitar as he "navigates his new life with a mom in rehab, a dead father, an annoying aunt, and a new school in New Jersey with a camel as its mascot," per Variety. "When a creepy old lady who may or may not be a ghost tells Mickey that his father isn’t dead, Mickey is sure he’s losing his mind on top of everything. Mickey finds a grounding force in Ashley Kent, another new student who’s lived through her own tragedy. But then Ashley goes missing, and as Mickey searches for her, he learns that everything she told him was a lie—and that he is in serious danger unless he gets to the bottom of what happened to her and his father. Mickey’s search thrusts him into a world of conspiracy, lies, and the darkest aspects of humanity."
