Alexander Clarke is a genius, but it wasn't meant to be that way. Diagnosed with a crippling disorder just ten weeks into his mother's pregnancy, his future looked anything but bright. However, a highly experimental procedure saved him from a life of mental disability. But is he the "normal" boy that the doctors promised his mother he would be?

When enigmatic freshman Amanda Valentino arrived at Endeavor High, she chose three people - Callie, Hal, and Nia - to guide her through the choppy waters of her new school. Except she didn't tell them about each other. When Amanda leaves, the three must reluctantly work together to figure out why. But once they start piecing together the cryptic clues that Amanda herself is leaving for them, they realize that everything they thought they knew about her is false. The more they dig, the mystery of where - and who - Amanda is deepens.
