Could YOU Forgive?

Would you know what to do if this happened to you?

Hidden

by Helen Frost

When Wren and Darra meet at age 14, they recognize each other instantly, though they've never actually seen each other.  It has been 6 years since something happened that affected them both profoundly: Darra's father stole a car and drove it home, not knowing that Wren was hiding in the back.  Darra was the only one who guessed that Wren stayed hidden in their locked garage.

For Wren, hungry, thirsty, trapped, and terrified, the hours dragged on as she searched for a way out.

Now in Cabin 8, each girl knows the other's most private secret- - and neither of them wants to talk about what happened...

You think you know everythign about me. You. Know. Nothing.

Gerald Faust knows exactly when he started feeling angry: the day his mother invited a reality television crew into his five-year-old life. Twelve years later, he’s still haunted by his rage-filled youth—which the entire world got to watch from every imaginable angle—and his anger issues have resulted in violent outbursts, zero friends, and clueless adults dumping him in the special education room at school.

Nothing is ever going to change. No one cares that he’s tried to learn to control himself, and the girl he likes has no idea who he really is. Everyone’s just waiting for him to snap…and he’s starting to feel dangerously close to doing just that.

LOUD. 

There was an accident. Ember knows at least that much. She was driving. The car was totaled. She suffered back injuries and brain trauma, but she is alive. That's the only thing left she can cling to.

AWAKE. 

Eight months later, Ember feels broken. The pieces of her former self no longer fit together. She can't even remember the six weeks of her life leading up to the accident. Where was she going? Who was she with and what happened during those six weeks that her friends and family won't talk about?

LOST. 

One by one, Ember discovers the answers to these questions and little by little, the person she used to be slips further and further away.

How should her family prepare for the future when worldwide tsunamis wipe out the coasts, earthquakes rock the continents, and volcanic ash blocks out the sun?

Told in journal entries, this is the heart-pounding story of Miranda’s struggle to hold on to the most important resource of all--hope--in an increasingly desperate and unfamiliar world.
