Maddie lives in a world where everything is done on the computer. Whether it’s to go to school or on a date, people don’t venture out of their home. There’s really no need. For the most part, Maddie’s okay with the solitary, digital life—until she meets Justin. Justin likes being with people. He enjoys the physical closeness of face-to-face interactions. People aren’t meant to be alone, he tells her. Suddenly, Maddie feels something awakening inside her—a feeling that maybe there is a different, better way to live. But with society and her parents telling her otherwise, Maddie is going to have to learn to stand up for herself if she wants to change the path her life is taking. In this not-so-brave new world, two young people struggle to carve out their own space.This ebook includes a sample chapter of MIDDLE GROUND.

"If you love Indiana Jones and Lara Croft movies, you should definitely read this book. It shows the point of view of the mystery waiting to be discovered. Fast paced, action filled book, I loved it. A little more proofreading will give it a 5 ⭐️. I loved how there’s two points of view from two people of different backgrounds so it gives a wider perspective for the reader."
