“Life goes on… until it doesn’t,” reads the front cover of Extraordinary Means by Robyn Schneider. Lane Rosen was diagnosed with tuberculosis. It’s the disease with no known cure. Lane moves to the Latham House, where teenagers like him live away from civilation, in a quarinated boarding school. Just when Lane thinks his future is destroyed (college), Sadie appears. They remember each other from an awkward summer camp long ago- when they weren’t both isolated beings. Sadie teaches Lane how to survive in Latham through formal dress movie nights, secret Starbucks missions, and sneaked-in goodies. It’s hard to remember they are still sick, until tragedy pounces. This heartbrazeningly good book has some mature content, so I reccomend it for YA readers only.
