Riley has always had a crush on Sarah. Sarah has been dating his best friend Trip. Nat and Tannis  all head up to the cave and are drinking. They find these binoculars , that seem to foretell their future. Some see things and others don't .

Riley is also showing his memories with his family. We also see the family issues with his friends. Things change once they all look through the binoculars. Many things start to come true.

This book was a mystery  , and it was very good. I didn't have any idea of did it. Riley has some morals and dealing with his crush. He also has some issues with his mom and Trip. He also finds out that Sarah has some secrets too. This book has twists and turns.

Linda is a white girl and the daughter of the editor of the paper in town. She doesn't want any black kids at the school. Sarah is black girl , and this will be her senior year. She is one of 10 children being integrated into the school .

Sarah and Linda get assigned a project for a class, and they have to work together . Linda doesn't tell her father about working with Sarah. Through this experience they grow to know one another , and also discuss the many things with segregation. Sarah also is fighting her feelings for Linda. Judy is both of their friends, and she also grows during this year. Linda and Sarah both love to sing, and they both end up on Choir.

This book was very good, and very thought provoking of times. I wasn't alive when this happened. I felt that this book tackled what in that year. I loved the different point of views. I felt that the girls struggled with their faith, being a christian, and their sexuality. Both girls changed over this year , and it was apparent in their choices. I loved that girls grew beyond color. Many family issues were touched upon from beating , faith, drinking. One of the girls felt invisible in their family. I loved that this book did have active parents with both girls. I loved this book, and it was amazing. I highly recommend that you read this book.

Ava works with Ezra and Lock in a team. She is firebug. She has been home schooled and she lives with Cade. She works for Venus , and does odd jobs for her. She is also dating Ryan.

Ava turns down a job , and then goes on the run with her team, Lock likes her, and she has trouble talking regarding relationships. While on the run things change , and more information comes out regarding Cade.

I didn't know what to expect from this book. I loved Lock and Ezra . I loved the humor and the sarcasm. Ava grew up in this book and maybe found love. This book had so many misfit characters.
