Book excerpt: Willowdale High School is the typical breeding ground for teenage angst, ruthless bullying, and a screwed up social order that only favors the superficial and socially adept -- the big nobodies. Most students pass through the four uneventful years by keeping their heads down, while others are forced to trek through the social battlefield while trying to retain as few emotional scars as possible. For misfits like Mary, Leo, Paxton, and Rachel, braving their way through is just the way high school is for people like them -- that is, until an eccentric girl named Sloane Riley comes along and changes their lives. With a mysteriously secretive past and a rebellious demeanor that seems to always get her into trouble, Sloane manages to bring the four misfits together and shows them the value of friendship and individuality. From midnight swims and campfire gatherings to a fantastical school production and prom, their senior year becomes the best one yet as the five friends grow closer than they ever could have dreamed. However, they soon realize that no one is ever left unscathed by the harshness of society when Sloane's miserable past begins to bleed into her adventurous, carefree present. As the months pass by and Sloane struggles with personal trauma of her own, she shows her best friends the importance and the quiet, subtle beauty in being little somebodies -- in being a guiding light for those who may be drowning in the darkness of their own lives.
