Gloria is tired of her ordinary life. She barely recognizes the free-spirited girl she used to be in the unadventurous teenager she has become. So when a mysterious boy bent on breaking the rules strolls into her classroom, Gloria is ready to fall under his spell. Uman is funny, confident and smart. He does whatever he likes and doesn't care what anyone thinks of him. The only people for him are the mad ones, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing but burn, burn, burn. He is everything Gloria wishes to be. He can whisk her away from the life she loathes and show her a more daring, more exciting one, in which the only limits are the boundaries of her own boldness. But Uman in not all he seems and by the time she learns the truth about him, she is a long way from home and everyone wants to know, Where's Gloria?

Review:

"The set-up is thriller-like, but what's impressive ... is its realism. What looks like an endorsement of thoughtless rebellion becomes something deeper as cold, hunger and bickering take their toll on the pair. Yet under it all is a golden thread of romance." --Financial Times

"This whole story is emotionally perceptive and impeccably written. It deserves to be read." --5 stars, Books for Keeps

"The narration is clever, holding back just enough at each turn to maintain the intrigue. It's a well-told, enjoyable story with rounded characters that I really want a happy ending for - and will gladly recommend!" --Reading Zone

Book Description:
