That is, until a chance encounter with Kian, a Caelian boy who makes her feel uncomfortable and alive at the same time. Secrets of her past are uncovered and Sadie’s latent, rare Talent is exposed. With great power comes the hunters, hired by an egomaniac who wants to use Sadie’s power to establish Caelian dominance. On the run with Kian and her friends, Sadie will have to decide: hide or fight. Will Sadie accept her new reality or will she stay lost?

Winner of the Adirondack Center for Writing Literary Award for Best Children's/Young Adult Fiction 2013. Something happened at the party in the woods two weeks ago, but Jen's having trouble remembering that night. She wasn't the type that normally went to parties but she wanted to expand her horizons, maybe find a date for the prom who wasn't in the marching band. Ever since that night, though, she feels like all eyes are on her, judging. What is with everyone? Then Jen sees the pictures, those horrible disgusting pictures, and knows her life will never be the same. All her dreams for junior year vanish in an instant. Instead of a boyfriend and prom, she'll be the school's pariah, the one everyone wishes would just disappear. That's fine with Jen. There's no way she can keep going to school after this anyway. With nowhere to turn, she runs as fast and as far as she can. Another big mistake. Huge, colossal, epic fail. Compared to the situation she finds herself in, her life back at school seems like a cakewalk. Alone and afraid, can Jen survive on her own? Or will this be it, her uneventful life over before she has even been kissed? Sometimes the only thing you can do when you are hopelessly lost, is find yourself. Or die trying.

When Alfie Turner loses his mum, it feels like his world is falling apart. She was the glue that held their family together and, now that she's gone, Alfie and his dad don't really know how to be a family without her. And then Alfie meets Alice. Alice is a force of nature and has her own set of problems, but at least when Alfie's with her he can forget about his. Or can he? Because no matter how hard you run, life will always catch up in the end. Despite everything holding them back, together Alfie and Alice learn two things: that friendship can help dig you out of even the blackest hole, and that it's not the falling down that matters, it's the getting back up. Enormously heartfelt and insightful, this fiercely uplifting novel is Eve Ainsworth at her best.
