Surviving You

Em Brooks is leading a boring and normal teenage girl life with all high-school drama included, until Alec Cavillo walks into her school. The minute she sees him she knows that this boy is different. Something about him makes her want to find out more. Even though many people are trying to talk to him and get him as a friend, he seems to let no one in.

Em is fascinated by him, just the way he moves smoothly through the crowd, just the constant distant and calculating look in his golden eyes - as if he's constantly thinking about an earlier and happier time - it blows her mind. There's something about him that she just can't let go.

Determined to find out more about him, she finds the perfect way to get a little bit closer to this distant, unusual boy; the annual school trip to Brasilia which every senior year student can join.

But what if this trip turns out to become a real nightmare?
