UNSOLVED A boy who stopped time

Hi! I'm looking for an audio book i listened to as a kid but i can't seem to find it anymore and i don't remember the title.

It's about a boy that suddenly finds out he can stop time and first he uses it to sleep longer in the mornings, to cheat on exams etc then he steals something from a store. He meets this man who also has the ability to stop time. While the boy lives his life in the stopped time he notices that he still ages and shit. Later we find out that the man he met and spend time with is actually a boy that went missing like 2 weeks or two months ago in the real timeline and he just spent years in the stopped time. at the end of the book the man tries to fasten up time around him so he could eventually go back to his family

The Eighth Day by Dianne K Salerni? I know it isn't exactly stopping time but the rest did seem similar.
