NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER -- Marcus, a.k.a “w1n5t0n,” is only seventeen years old, but he figures he already knows how the system works–and how to work the system. Smart, fast, and wise to the ways of the networked world, he has no trouble outwitting his high school’s intrusive but clumsy surveillance systems. But his whole world changes when he and his friends find themselves caught in the aftermath of a major terrorist attack on San Francisco. In the wrong place at the wrong time, Marcus and his crew are apprehended by the Department of Homeland Security and whisked away to a secret prison where they’re mercilessly interrogated for days. When the DHS finally releases them, Marcus discovers that his city has become a police state where every citizen is treated like a potential terrorist. He knows that no one will believe his story, which leaves him only one option: to take down the DHS himself.

If someone had told me that Jesse Larson, the schools biggest douche bag had lost his sight, I probably wouldn't believe it. But when you see it for yourself, you're suddenly willing to believe that pigs can fly. But none of that went through my mind, as I watched him lose everything he ever had. I knew what it was like to be shunned, hated and unwanted. That's how he'd made me feel my entire life. But somehow a part of me just couldn't let him feel worthless, no matter how bad he'd made me feel. All I knew was that Jesse needed a friend. A real one. One that wouldn't judge him or gossip about him. One he could talk to. A person that could care about him and love him like no one else.

Her best (and only) friend Kaida has always been her moral support, and Kaida’s older brother Konai has always been there to tear her back down. With only days left in school, and the Spring Equinox festival just around the corner, Andrea looks at her life like a glass half empty. Until a random series of events, and a dark and stormy night, change her life forever.
