No amount of luxury can stifle the dull routine of living in the same place, with only his two sisters, only his father and mother, doing the same thing day after day after day. As problems with their carefully planned existence threaten to destroy their sanctuary --- and their sanity --- Eli can’t help but wonder if he’d rather take his chances outside.

Three reasons why Viola Chesterton knows she’ll never survive her first year at boarding school:

1. She has to leave behind her best friend, Andrew

2. and replace him with three new roommates who, disturbingly, actually seem to like it there

3. "There" is South Bend, Indiana, which feels about as far away from her hometown of Brooklyn, New York, as you can get

Boarding school, though, is nothing like she thought it would be, and soon Viola realizes she's in for the most incredible year of her life. But first, she has to put the camera down, and let the world in.
