When Seb is offered a place on a radical retreat designed to solve the national crisis of teenage misery, he sees it as a chance to change how people see him and finally make his parents proud. But as he's drawn to the enigmatic Finn, Seb begins to question the true nature of the retreat's challenges. The deeper into the programme the boys go, the more disturbing the assessments become, until escape starts to feel impossible.. Dead Happy picks up the story as Seb, having somehow survived the HappyHead programme, finds himself stranded on the remote island of Elmhallow with nine other "chosen" survivors, under the watch of a freakishly beautiful couple. Reluctantly teaming up with Eleanor once again, Seb is forced through a series of ever-stranger trials designed to test their bond, all while desperately searching for Finn. What he uncovers is an even darker reality than the one he escaped, in a nail-biting conclusion that ties the duology together.. Together, these two novels form a complete, self-contained story arc, ideal for teen and adult readers who enjoy suspenseful, socially conscious YA fiction with genuine emotional stakes..
