"Avery Hart lives for the thrill of her dirt bike, the thump of her drum kit, and the springy high of her trampoline. But after she's diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a disease that affects her joints, doing what she loves puts Avery at risk for major injury - like the dirt-bike wipeout that resulted in surgery. Now Avery splits her time between endless physical therapy and worrying that her fun and independence are over for good. Sarah Bell is familiar with worry. Ever since her aunt dies three months ago, Sarah has been having intense panic attacks. Drawing in her journal helps some, but she's starting to wonder if she'll ever get a grip on her fear. Just as both girls are reaching peak anxiety about their futures, their present takes a terrifying turn when their school is seemingly attacked. Though they later learn it was a drill, the traumatic experience bonds them in a friendship that will change how they view their perceived weaknesses - and help them find strength, and more, in each other."--From publisher.
