Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Lia Kahn was perfect: rich, beautiful, popular — until the accident that nearly killed her. Now she has been downloaded into a new body that only looks human. Lia will never feel pain again, she will never age, and she can't ever truly die. But she is also rejected by her friends, betrayed by her boyfriend, and alienated from her old life.

Forced to the fringes of society, Lia joins others like her. But they are looked at as freaks. They are hated...and feared. They are everything but human, and according to most people, this is the ultimate crime — for which they must pay the ultimate price.

Review:

"A spellbinding story about loss, rebirth, and finding out who we really are inside." — Scott Westerfeld, author of the Uglies series

About the Author

Robin Wasserman enjoys writing about high school — but wakes up every day grateful that she doesn't have to relive it. She recently abandoned the beaches and boulevards of Los Angeles for the chilly embrace of the East Coast, as all that sun and fun gave her too little to complain about. She now lives and writes in New York City, which she claims to love for its vibrant culture and intellectual life. In reality, she doesn't make it to museums nearly enough, and actually just loves the city for its pizza, its shopping, and the fact that at three A.M. you can always get anything you need — and you can get it delivered.

I've actually just discovered your website and I am ecstatic! I can't wait to show my students. I am a big fan of Scott Westerfeld and this reminds me of his work. So, being that I just heard of this book, I have to check it out and then come back and comment. I just wanted to comment on how overly excited I am for discovering the website. Keep up the great work.
