Sevens: Meltdown
Scott Wallens
Jane's lying on her bed. It's covered in a sheet of
books and papers and notebooks and pens. Magna Carta, carbolic
acid, carte blanche . . . She pulls the unopened SAT envelope from
the pocket of her dirty jeans. Jane knows the score. She barely
got the 200 for signing her name.
Sevens is the story
of seven weeks in the lives of seven teenagers in Saratoga
Springs, New York. As the first book opens, the seven main
characters stand on the edge. They are facing things that force
them to confront their pasts and their very uncertain futures. At
first their struggles seem unrelated, but soon the connections
between the characters begin to emerge.
Over the course of
these seven books, readers will be brought into the lives of these
teens. They will share their struggles, feel their pain, and
celebrate their successes-all the while gaining glimpses of the
single unifying event that irrevocably links these seven lives. It
was an event that affected them all differently, but changed each
of them forever.
