Even after months of painful physical therapy, Maggie walks with a limp. Her social life is nil and a scholarship to study abroad--her chance to escape everyone and their pitying stares--has been canceled. After a year in juvenile jail, Caleb's free . . . if freedom means endless nagging from a transition coach and the prying eyes of the entire town. Coming home should feel good, but his family and ex-girlfriend seem like strangers. Caleb and Maggie are outsiders, pigeon-holed as "criminal" and "freak." Then the truth emerges about what really happened the night of the accident and, once again, everything changes. It's a bleak and tortuous journey for Caleb and Maggie, yet they end up finding comfort and strength from a surprising source: each other.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Elkeles writes convincingly about family tensions, retreating from painful reality, and teens outgrowing their old skins." --<em>School Library Journal</em><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Simone Elkeles is the author of <em>Leaving Paradise</em> and four other Flux novels, including <em>How to Ruin Your Summer Vacation</em> and <em>How to Ruin Your Boyfriend's Repuation</em>.
