RUBY CRANE IS a rising star. At 15, she sold her first book, got a movie deal, scored the hottest guy in school, and became the most popular student at Frasier High. Now, as a soon-to-be junior and published author, she's ready to make waves in New York's literary world. But every star falls back to earth one day. Ruby's accused of plagiarism - on national television. And the worst part is that the proof of her literary lies is indisputable.Her friends won't return her phone calls. Her boyfriend's gone AWOL. The media vultures are flying low, and they want answers. So Ruby does what any self-respecting headline would do. She disappears. And that's when her story really begins.

The story centres on a fictional sixteen-year-old male as he attempts to deal with issues that include bullying and violence, smoking and drugs (nicotine, marijuana, LSD), alcohol abuse, friendships and peer pressure, school life, dating and sex, and relationships with parents. At various points throughout the story, the reader must help the main character make choices, which shape and influence the outcome of each chapter: Each different choice taking the reader on an alternative journey through the book with the aid of hyperlinks. The book aims to increase the self-esteem and emotional resilience of mid-to-late-teenagers by providing education, information, and opportunities to practice decision-making from a safe environment when dealing with the above risky issues; so if these choices come up in their real life, hopefully they’ll have some understanding of where their decisions could lead them.
