The Gatekeepers

The Gatekeepers

<strong>“How could we know that forever could end at seventeen?”</strong><Br><Br>Anyone passing through North Shore, Illinois, would think it was the most picture-perfect place ever, with all the lakefront mansions and manicured hedges and iron gates. No one talks about the fact that the brilliant, talented kids in town have a terrible history of throwing themselves in front of commuter trains. <Br><Br>Meet Simone, the bohemian transfer student from London, who is thrust into the strange new reality of an American high school; Mallory, the hypercompetitive queen bee; and Stephen, the first-generation genius who struggles with crippling self-doubt. Each one is shocked when a popular classmate takes his own life…except not <em>too</em> shocked. It’s happened before. With so many students facing their own demons, can they find a way to save each other—as well as themselves?
