About the Book
The Breakfast Club gets a modern, high-stakes reboot in this story of four very different teens and a night that changes them forever. With cinematic storytelling and compelling emotional depth, critically acclaimed author Erin Jade Lange takes readers on literary thrill ride.
The Rebel: Once popular, Andi is now a dreadlocked and tattooed wild child.
The Bully: Bigger is better, so York bullies everyone who crosses his path.
The Geek: Tired of being bullied, Boston is waiting it out until he goes Ivy League.
The Pariah: Choosing to be invisible has always worked for Sam . . . until tonight.
When Andi, York, Boston, and Sam find themselves hiding in the woods after a party gets busted by the cops, they decide to hop into the nearest car they see and take off. Normally these four would never be caught dead together, but when their getaway takes a dangerous turn, sticking together will be the only way to avoid ending up dead.

Read an Excerpt
This is what people mean when they say silence is deafening. The quiet shock that filled the car was a tangible thing, and it swelled until it felt like the small confines of the SUV would explode with it. A car door opened, and the ding ding warning bell cut through our hush. “Stay here,” York ordered. So, naturally, every one of us opened our own doors and followed him to the front of the SUV. The officer had fallen to the side of the dirt road, half concealed in weeds and grass. He was not moving. “He’s dead,” Boston said in a strangled whisper. He said it again, and this time it was a scream that reached all the way to my bones. “HE’S DEAD!” Jail is for drunks and accidental car thieves. Prison is for cop killers. I backed away from the officer’s body and fumbled in my purse for my phone. It had been so long since I’d had to dial 911. My Mama is missing. My Mama won’t wake up. It made me sick to my stomach. But before I could punch the numbers, York let out a 911 call of his own. “Help!” It took me a second to realize he was shouting his SOS directly out toward the river. “HELP!” He was calling for the other police. And they answered. The first shot whizzed by us far to the left, lost somewhere in the woods. The second bullet burrowed deep into a tree just over the fallen officer’s body. By the time the third bullet screamed into the rear bumper, we were all back inside the SUV. Andi yelled for York to “Go! Go! Go!” but he really didn’t need her prodding. His foot was on the gas before our doors were even closed.
About the Author
Erin writes facts by day and fiction by night. As a journalist, she is inspired by current events and real-world issues and uses her writing to explore how those issues impact teenagers. She is an only child, so she spent a lot of time entertaining herself as a kid. This required her to rely heavily on her own imagination, which is probably why she became a writer. Erin grew up in the cornfields of northern Illinois, along the Mississippi River in one of the few places it flows east to west. She now lives in the sunshine of Arizona and will forever be torn between her love of rivers and her love of the desert.

This book sounds like a wild ride.
I believe absolutely that one night can change your life. It’ll be interesting to see how this one night changes these characters lives.
[b] Do you believe one night can change your life?
[/b]
Yes, I sincerely believe that one night can change a life, because time consists of words, actions, and thoughts. A combination of those can result in a roller-coaster ride, that leaves us with a big change. If one night changed my life, I believe one night can change anyone’s life. Just as one word, one move, or one thought can change a life, one night can do much more.
This story seems interesting. The cover is catchy and caught my attention, immediately. I think the word BULLY really got to me, because I’ve been bullied in the past, and considering the cover has stereotypes, I assumed the story was about stereotyping, which I find interesting.
Absolutely, I do believe one night can change your life. This book sounds so interesting, The Breakfast Club was and still is one of my all time favorite movies (80’s baby). A modern day re-boot that I am def interested in reading 🙂
Yes, I personally think that one night can change a person’s life. I mean, if i’m not mistaken, it has happened to me before. A person can gain a friend for life in one night, a person can be traumatized forever in just one sad event, a person can be stronger with just one moment… So I’m pretty sure it can happen.
Yes, I believe so depending on the circumstances. Thank you
I completely believe one night could change your life mainly because I watched Inside Out and have ethos on the situation
I do believe one night could change your life! I mean all it takes is a second for everything to change. Life’s crazy like that!
I’ve had a few nights that stand out as far and away the happiest times I’ve ever enjoyed in my many years spent in this living process, so my answer is YES! Thanks for this opportunity and cheers, Kara S
I absolutely think one night can change your life, certain experiences can change your outlook on the life your living. In the blink of an eye, your life can turn down a brand new path!
Yes, I believe one night can change a person’s life.
I definitely think one night can change a person’s life. So much can happen in a short amount of time, like a night, that will leave someone different forever.
Definitely! So much can change either for good or bad in a fraction of a second, let alone a night.
I absolutely believe that one night can change your life. I know mine has, several times. If I had not skipped studying for an exam to see my friend’s band play, I would never have met the man who became my husband.
I absolutely believe that one night can change your life. Anything could have a one moment 🙂
Definitely a night can change my life, every minute, every second and every choice we make can change our lives 🙂
One night can definitely change a person’s life. The right decisions mean everything.
Our actions define who we are and what will come of us…so yes one night can definitely change your life!:)
For sure!
