"Tenth graders Eliana and Dmitri could not be more different. He's an outgoing, self-confident drummer in a punk band called Unexpected Turbulence. Eliana is introspective and thoughtful, and a movie buff who is living with depression. Dmitri quite literally falls for Eliana when he sees her in gym class and slams into a classmate. The pair then navigate the ins and outs of first love. Exciting, scary, unexpected, and so much more difficult than they ever imagined. They say opposites attract, but they soon realize that there is so much they just don't understand about each other. It begs the question: How long can first love possibly last when you're so different?"--HL770L

When this ragtag group is brought together at a new church youth group, they begin to find that the differences between them in personality, ethnicity, and interests pale next to the one thing that unites them all: their common faith in Jesus. But can their new friendships survive the individual and collective problems they are about to face...including their new church catching on fire? And will a shocking discovery be enough to shake the new bonds that they've forged?" --
