Now that she's nearing the end of high school, feeling frustrated with the mounting pressure to choose a career and follow a path she has no interest in, the desire to escape it all has been steadily increasing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEverything comes to a head when Oli's relationship with her best friend goes south and she claps back at a school bully with more than just words. Oli flees to find the commune on a Gulf Island off the coast of Vancouver, taking with her Milo, who can't help but hide his feelings behind the safety of a video camera, and Alvin, a shy teen who sees more than he lets on. Behind them trails Liam, Oli's ex-best-friend and sometimes love interest, who wants to apologize for the way things went down. All four are grappling with a world that cannot be changed . . . and simply trying to find their place in it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis YA anti-coming-of-age road trip adventure, by talented up-and-coming comic artist Adam de Souza, captures at once the angst and humor of being a teen during a time of great transition.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Tundra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43545702629547,"sku":"9781774880753","price":17.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0496\/0098\/7297\/files\/91PZjo8-3UL._SL1500.jpg?v=1709313236","url":"https:\/\/enterthebattlefield.ca\/products\/the-gulf","provider":"Enter The Battlefield","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
