Only Alien on the Planet

New town, new school, new friends. It was difficult for Ginny at first, but her senior year is finally starting to feel kind of normal. That is, until she sees him–the beautiful mystery in her English class. He has never spoken a word to anyone. He moves through each day at school without making eye contact. His name is Smitty Tibbs, but everyone calls him the Alien.
Ginny becomes determined to look past his completely muted, emotionless exterior. However, as she and a mutual friend attempt to break through the severe walls he has constructed due to past trauma, she realizes her well-intentioned efforts might be causing more psychological harm than good.
