'we are invincible

in a small state of north carolina there is a group of five friends, and among the eight hundred students who attend glen view high these teens are nothing memorable. they aren't the group of nerds who get their names in the papers, or the athletes who get their faces on tv. they are the not too popular, not too geeky kids who live in everyone else's shadow. or that's what everyone thinks, though they do manage to turn a few heads, each of them probably belonging perfectly to one of the cliche high school sterotypes, but deciding to band together in a strange pack that has been inseparable for almost four years. but one night they decide to go a little off track on their way home, and run into something they would have never imagined. the neighborhood nobodies quickly start to raise suspicion as their lives change completely. sebastian, alaska, nico, margo, and mordecai are in for the adventure they have been waiting for. after they discover something in the woods they feel... different, and their boring lives turn into an unpredictable roller-coaster as they attempt to keep a unbelievable secret while figuring out just what they are capable of. as well as building a bond with each other that would be stronger than ever. these nameless group of kids may find out who they are and what they are worth after all. "When adults say, "Teenagers think they are invincible" with that sly, stupid smile on their faces, they don't know how right they are. We need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken. We think that we are invincible because we are. We cannot be born, and we cannot die. Like all energy, we can only change shapes and sizes and manifestations. They forget that when they get old. They get scared of losing and failing. But that part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail." - john green
