Two very bumpy roads taken that lead to Heartland Academy. \u003cbr\u003eJustin was just having fun, but when his dad walked in on him with a girl in a very compromising position, Justin's summer took a quick turn for the worse. His parents' divorce put Justin on rocky mental ground, and after a handful of Tylenol lands him in the hospital, he has really hit rock bottom.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eEmmy never felt like part of her family. She was adopted from China. Her parents and sister tower over her and look like they came out of a Ralph Lauren catalog-- and Emmy definitely doesn't. After a scandalous photo of Emmy leads to vicious rumors around school, she threatens the boy who started it all on Facebook.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eJustin and Emmy arrive at Heartland Academy, a reform school that will force them to deal with their issues, damaged souls with little patience for authority. But along the way they will find a ragtag group of teens who are just as broken, stubborn, and full of sarcasm as themselves. In the end, they might even call each other friends. \u003cbr\u003eA funny, sad, and remarkable story, A Really Awesome Mess is a journey of friendship and self-discovery that teen readers will surely sign up for.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReleases simultaneously in electronic book format (ISBN 978-1-60684-364-2)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Lerner Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47173229740272,"sku":"9781606843642","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781606843642_p0.jpg?v=1763830747","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781606843642","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
