About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager is feeling the weight of societal labels or struggling to find their own voice amidst rigid rules. It is a perfect choice for the young person who feels like they are being monitored or judged for aspects of their personality they cannot change. The story follows Tru and Lila, two teens with superhuman abilities, as they navigate a world that has grown suspicious of Lila's explosive powers. Beyond the high-octane action, the narrative explores the deep emotional work of self-trust and the vulnerability of first love. It is highly appropriate for ages 14 and up, offering a safe space to explore themes of autonomy, peer pressure, and the courage it takes to define oneself rather than letting an institution or a stranger do it for you.
