David Ferreira was just another fourteen year old boy with a rich family. He was always so used to getting what he wanted- until a tragedy that leaves him heartbroken forces him to make a life-changing decision. David learns what it's like to make something out of nothing. He was always so used to being on top- but the farther he travels, the more he wonders whether he really was that spoiled rich boy who always got what he wanted, or that that part of him was as fake as some of the actors his mom has worked with. Or that "being on top" was not what he has expected it to mean. In a book that teaches people about heart, love, confidence, finding true friends and -most importantly- finding their true meaning, David has become a person better than he was before- even though he has lost almost everything he has ever loved. But maybe his sacrifices were worth the risk...

High school student Anthony Scalese was having a normal day when his friends decided that they wanted to attend a party. After bumping into Emma, the girl of his dreams, in a not-so-positive way, he realizes that the day isn't going well. It gets worse when tragedy strikes, and his friend takes his own life at that party, forcing him into a depression that not even his little sister can help him out of. The only thing that keeps him going is his excitement for a school camping trip that is coming up with his best friend Edward. After a little mishap while hiking down from their camp site, Anthony and his major crush fall down the side of the mountain and get stuck, then get chased by a gun-wielding maniac into a cave. After what seems like days, they make it out of the cave alive, only to find out that they have ended up in a new world: a world where nothing makes sense. There are giants and leprechauns and shapeshifters...but there is also a great darkness that is out to destroy everyone-and everything-that it sees. Young Anthony finds out that it is up to him and Emma to save this new world with great powers that he had no idea he had, and make it home before anybody suspects a thing. Told from a first-person point-of-view, it goes into detail about the thought processes of a young man who has everything to lose. The protagonist deals with real life struggles every day, including the death of his friend, his dad who left him at an early age, and the pain of seeing his little sister being hurt by her boyfriend. He also has to take charge and become a hero for those who can't against an unwavering bully in a far-away world. My book blends fiction with reality, as the reader follows along in the life of a shy high school student who gets thrown into many situations he must overcome as he finds out who he truly is and why it is him who needs to save the world, while keeping the reader guessing every step of the way.
