Fault lines
(Book)

In rural West Virginia, anti-fracking teen Viv discovers an ability to sense forests' energy, a power that becomes heightened the more she interacts with Dex, the new boy in town.

Since her aunt's death, Vivian (Viv) Spry is aching to figure out where she belongs. Her father has become emotionally distant, and her best friend has found a new sense of identity in her theater group. No one in her rural West Virginia town has time for an assertive, angry girl, especially a girl dubbed "Ice Queen" for refusing to sleep with her popular boyfriend. The only place Viv feels like it is safe to be her true self is the tree stand where her aunt taught her to hunt. When fracking destroys the stand and almost kills her, Viv vows to find a way to take the gas company down. Dex Mathews is a new kid in town; his mom has a job laying pipeline. Viv's plan to sabotage the pipeline company could result in Dex's mom losing her job. As their worlds colling, Viv and Dex have to decide what is worth fighting for: their families, their principles, or each other. -- adapted from jacket
