      Theodora Fincha trápia depresie. Každý deň premýšľa nad smrťou, no zároveň hľadá dôvody, prečo žiť. Violet Markeyová ráta dni do maturity, aby mohla ujsť z malého mesta, kde ju prenasledujú bolestné spomienky na sestrinu tragickú smrť. Navzájom sa nepoznajú, až kým sa obaja neocitnú na rímse školskej zvonice, s pohľadom upretým na chodník šesť poschodí pod nimi. Dole sa zhlukujú študenti a škodoradostne pobádajú Fincha, aby skočil. Na výčiny problémového študenta už sú zvyknutí. Čo tam však robí Violet? Keď dvojica napokon cúvne, na druhý deň sa v školských novinách objaví článok o hrdinke Violet, čo zachránila čudáka Fincha. Nebolo to však naopak? Finch je novou známosťou uchvátený a Violet presvedčí, aby spolu pracovali na školskom projekte – túlali sa po Indiane a spoznávali jej neobjavené zákutia, všetky skvelé miesta, o ktorých mnohí ani netušia. Práve tam si uvedomia, že môžu byť sami sebou, zbaviť sa nálepiek, ktoré im dávajú tí, čo ich vôbec nepoznajú. Skrátka môžu byť konečne šťastní. Zdanie však občas klame, najmä ak je smútok priveľký...

      Claudine Henryová mala pred nástupom na vysokú školu smelé plány. Posledné leto chcela stráviť s najlepšou priateľkou, vydať sa na dobrodružný výlet a možno si konečne vyraziť so svojou platonickou láskou Wyattom Jonesom. Namiesto toho musí riešiť spúšť, ktorú napáchal jej otec, keď sa rozhodol odísť od rodiny. Jej svet sa tak razom zmení na jedno veľké klamstvo. Claudine sa musí zo dňa na deň odsťahovať s matkou na vzdialený, komármi zamorený ostrov, kde nie je ani signál, nieto šanca na románik. Lenže potom stretne Jeremiaha, pekného a záhadného voľnomyšlienkara. Jeremiah je miestny sprievodca s vášňou pre fotografovanie, ale aj minulosťou, o ktorej nerád hovorí. Medzi dvoma ranenými dušami ihneď preskočí iskra. Obaja však vedia, že nech sa stane čokoľvek, skončí sa to posledným dňom prázdnin.

      Libby Stroutovú vraj každý dobre pozná – veď pred pár rokmi ju vyhlásili za najtučnejšiu tínedžerku sveta. No ni¬kto sa neunúva nazrieť jej do duše, aby zistil, kým naozaj je a čím si prešla. Jacka Masselina vraj tiež každý dobre pozná. Je šarmantný, má štýl a vie, ako zapadnúť. No nikto netuší, že skrýva tajomstvo: trpí zriedkavou neurologickou poruchou a nie je schopný rozoznávať ľudí. On sa však tvári, že je nad vecou a nikoho si príliš nepúšťa k telu. Až kým nestretne Libby. Na začiatku ju Jack pred spolužiakmi kruto poníži a ona mu za to jednu strelí. Naj¬prv na seba zazerajú, no neskôr príde čosi, čo nečakali... postupne sa medzi nimi rodí zvláštne priateľstvo. On začne obdivovať Libbinu odvahu, razantnosť a veľké srdce, jej sa zasa zapáči Jackov šarm, zmysel pre humor, oddanosť blízkym. Odkedy trávia veľa času spolu, už necítia takú osamelosť v duši. Jednoducho tak to je – niekedy stretnete človeka, ktorý vám obráti celý svet hore nohami.

    • The Karluk set out in 1913 in search of an undiscovered continent, with the largest scientific staff ever sent into the Arctic. Soon after, winter had begun, they were blown off course by polar storms, the ship became imprisoned in ice, and the expedition was abandoned by its leader. Hundreds of miles from civilization, the castaways had no choice but to find solid ground as they struggled against starvation, snow blindness, disease, exposure--and each other. After almost twelve months battling the elements, twelve survivors were rescued, thanks to the heroic efforts of their captain, Bartlett, the Ice Master, who traveled by foot across the ice and through Siberia to find help. Drawing on the diaries of those who were rescued and those who perished, Jennifer Niven re-creates with astonishing accuracy the ill-fated journey and the crews desperate attempts to find a way home.
