In this provocative cautionary tale for teens, the sequel to Awaken, seventeen-year-old Maddie’s rebellion against the digital-only life grows dangerous.

Once again, Katie Kacvinsky paints a disturbing picture of our increasingly technology-based society. This ebook includes a sample chapter of Still Point.

"It''s been four months since Gray and Dylan have seen each other. Dylan''s been traveling in Europe, while Gray has college, baseball, and a life rooted in one place. Gray''s determined to forget Dylan, the girl he fell in love with. Besides, how do you make a relationship work with an independent loner? Just when he decides he''s over her, Dylan makes an unexpected entrance back into his life, hoping their steamy romance can start right where it left off. Gray realizes you can tell your mind to do one thing, but you can''t always convince your heart to follow. Dylan realizes she finally has to make a choice between freedom and her relationship with Gray"--Back cover.

When dark and stormy Gray meets light and lively Dylan, they fall easily into love. But love takes work--and sometimes having to say you''re sorry.

Gray ist ein cooler Typ. Er läuft nur mit seinem iPod auf den Ohren rum und interessiert sich nicht sonderlich für das, was um ihn herum passiert. Dylan ist das pure Gegenteil: Sie sprüht vor Energie, steckt voller Ideen und vor allem will sie aus jedem Tag etwas Besonderes machen. Die beiden könnten nicht unterschiedlicher sein - und doch bemerken sie einander, lernen sich kennen, freunden sich an und verlieben sich schließlich ineinander. In Dylans klapprigem Auto erkunden sie die Wüste in der Sommerhitze, sie schreiben eine Ode auf einen Kaktus und adoptieren einen zotteligen Hund. Doch irgendwann ist der Sommer zu Ende. Gray winkt ein Sportstipendium an einem weit entfernten College. Und auch Dylan hat Pläne: Sie will die Welt sehen und weiter jeden Tag wie ein Wunder erleben. Die beiden erleben, wie leicht es ist, sich zu verlieben - und wie viel schwerer es sein kann, sich zu verzeihen und wiederzufinden, wenn man sich einmal verloren h at.

Maddie lives in a world where everything is done on the computer. Whether it’s to go to school or on a date, people don’t venture out of their home. There’s really no need. For the most part, Maddie’s okay with the solitary, digital life—until she meets Justin. Justin likes being with people. He enjoys the physical closeness of face-to-face interactions. People aren’t meant to be alone, he tells her. Suddenly, Maddie feels something awakening inside her—a feeling that maybe there is a different, better way to live. But with society and her parents telling her otherwise, Maddie is going to have to learn to stand up for herself if she wants to change the path her life is taking. In this not-so-brave new world, two young people struggle to carve out their own space. This ebook includes a sample chapter of MIDDLE GROUND.
