From the day 15-year-old Caryn Tobin watched her best friend drown, she has carried two weights: an overwhelming fear of water and the responsibilities of the oldest candidate in the Compound. Caryn is determined to live up to her friend’s memory, even if it means forcing herself to train in the water every day, or doing anything to protect the other girls. After nearly 3,000 years on the first colonized planet, there is still a deadly toxin in the air poised to wipe out the world’s population and it is the Compound’s purpose to train candidates from birth to gather the underwater cure. All the candidates compete for the chance to save the world, but only one can win and the winner will not survive collecting the cure. Caryn has to win. It is the price she must pay. Not only will she be able to atone for her part in the drowning, but she will also shield the other girls from death. Yet moments after sealing her own fate, Caryn is offered an opportunity to see the planet and leave the Compound. In the city she meets Kai, a 16-year-old street kid, who is searching for answers to his past. They form an unlikely friendship and Caryn realizes she has dreams of her own. Now she must choose between her sense of duty and her heart with the fate of the world hanging in the balance.

Schooling in Britain, fun right? Start off with Sierra Logan, city-bred girl who has been through everything- bad friends, family drama and the slowly dying enthusiasm for life. Now shift her to a magical new island that gives a hope of a new start. Add a sport, one to keep her grounded, motivated and forever pushing to new limits. (Who wouldn’t like a hot athlete’s body anyway?) Add a pinch- oops! A huge chunk of drama, bitches and bad luck i.e. your average high school hardships. A sprinkle of the good life- famous best friend, smart brains and a better body, a nervous boy who just can't stop making her laugh, his bad boy brother, and sudden luck! With added sour limes at training and sugar cubes for a better social life, you have the story of Sierra- a girl waiting for her fairytale ending. But for the rainbow to be seen, The Storms Must Pass. ***NOTE: this is not a sad story what-so-ever, just the start might seem so. It's your not so average teen fiction with fan fiction coming in later on. Lots of romance and humor. Please comment and give me advice on how to help make it better, ***
