Grian is a senior majoring in Architectural Design at his dream college, horribly burnt out and disillusioned with the system.
Scar is studying to open the Scarland park he saw every time he closed his eyes.
Jimmy is just trying to cope with the loss of his parents when he needed them most, trying to figure out who he is.
Joel doesn't know what he wants, but he knows he needs to become someone who can stand proudly next to the person he loves.
Lizzie has only ever wanted to help people,
And Gem just wants to do her part to keep their crumbling world together.
Their teacher, Professor Mumbo, wants nothing more than to do right by his students. So, when the opportunity for a life-changing competition arises-a chance to win full tuition from an organization called the "Watchers"-he volunteers to chaperone.
No one questioned it when the bus drove off into the Pacific Northwest. No one thought to check if the GPS was working.
Now, they're stranded in the wilderness, far from civilization, with no way out.
OR
Professor Mumbo Jumbo, Scar, Grian, Jimmy, Joel, Lizzie, and Gem to a competition in Seattle, ran by an organization called the "Watchers," which promised to pay the winners tuition in full. Things go slightly awry when Mumbo gets them all lost in the middle of the Pacific Northwest wilderness. Oopsie!
(I'll make a better cover eventually, lol)
