* AdultFear: It's easier to find a Caroline B. Cooney novel that ''doesn't'' have this.
** ''Code Orange'' has the protagonist fearing he has a contagious disease. [[spoiler:He gets kidnapped by terrorists who think that he's carrying smallpox]].
** ''If the Witness Lied'' has the kids' father died from a car accident, and their youngest brother Tris allegedly pulled the parking brake that led to their family car running him over. The two older sisters have left the house to deal with their grief. It leads to middle child Jack being the OnlySaneMan trying to protect Tris from the unwanted spotlight, while a woman named Aunt Cheryl has signed a reality TV deal. [[spoiler:It comes out that Aunt Cheryl was the one who actually killed their father; she wasn't really their aunt but a woman hitting on him and took offense when he refused to marry her for the kid's sake. Tris, fortunately, was playing with his dad's phone, getting a picture of Cheryl's hand on the parking brake]].
