They don't know one another
well, and don't speak to one
another at all, but one day at
school, the paths of four teens
will cross in ways they never
imagined. There's Tisha,
who doesn't feel she fits in
with anyone; Ryan, the football
jock who rules the hallways
while losing control of his
life; Kurt, the "freak" who
tries desperately to escape
bullying; and Floater, who uses
his connections to gain
dangerous power. On this
day, teasing, racism,
loneliness, and secrets bring
each of them to the breaking
point. Now they must help
each other prevent a tragedy.
The voices of these four teens
weave together in prose-poetry
to create a powerful story.
