"What kind of change can come to a normal boy living in the south of England?" Reece Johnson is a prime example of a typical teen struggling to find himself. He's a McDonalds working, parent-lacking (because the word orphan is too "Annie"), average Joe who is waiting for the moment that will define who he is. He sees the world in black and white, and for him, life isn't looking too bright. Then there's Ayah Abasi, the refreshing new girl who never seems to speak. She's as amazing as they come, and Reece knows this as soon as they first exchange words. He thinks SHE could be his defining moment, but she is haunted by something, and it seems that all she wants to do is avoid him at all costs. With the underlying threat of the memories of their pasts, and the crushing pressures of their future, they both need to learn how to seize the day and stop focusing on the things that don't matter. Besides, when life seems hopeless, you can always find hope in the arms of another. Perhaps they can show each other the brighter side of life?…

But in Ham's defence, he wasn't to know that just one sentence from him would send the principal on a desperate man-hunt for the 'ultimate friendship group' - a diverse, mismatched, good looking bunch that would look perfect for when the Inspector came sniffing. But when these kids are left alone on a retreat that would either make or break friendships, they come to know just how their contrasting backgrounds can collide.Can Principal Smith build the 'ultimate friendship group' in time, or will pushing together people from so many different worlds create something that he can't handle?…

There is a distinct difference between who you are in front of others and who you are by yourself. And when you're constantly around others those lines can be blurred beyond recognition.All in all, there are three things to be learnt about my story: 1) even in dire situations, teens will continue to be petty, temperamental, and cranky (or is this just Carrie?) 2) this is not a love story (although I'm pretty sure Alex wants it to be)3) social hierarchy proves to be ineffective when trying to discover ones true selfSeven teens. Put in an unbelievable circumstance that forces them to trust each other and put their differences aside. But how will that work when you have so many clashing personalities and hormones raging?Who do you depend on when you feel that you can only trust yourself? How do you expect people from completely different social groups to get along?There is only one answer to all these questions, and that answer can only be found at sea.Turns out that everything changes while you're drifting.…
