Description: "Toby and Shelby are not like the other kids. Fourteen years old and marooned in sleepy Citrus County, Florida, they stand apart from the cliques of jocks and cheerleaders. Toby is a troubled, unloved boy with a criminal record. Shelby is the fiercely intelligent girl who is uncontrollably attracted to him. As their relationship intensifies one hot, humid summer, a spur-of-the-moment act will come to change their lives forever."--Publisher description.
