PORCUPINES IN MY PANTS AND OTHER CRAZINESS

Life's going to be easy...said no one ever.Especially for a PlayStation-loving twelve-year-old in a futuristic city.Being twelve matters. Because that's when I am packed off by the Council on a hardcore muscle-numbing strugglethon across the five Thinais - the treacherous hills fatiguing fields muddy mangroves dry desert lands and dense forests - to come out shining…or whining. The latter is more my style.It's me against Nature. Me versus wild animals. Me against who-knows-what-lurks. Me versus Me. Get the picture?How this will help me grow up and glow up all in one go I don't know. But I'm about to find out.So are you!
