Publisher Description:

Calyssa Brentwood, an entitled high school senior who has just finished her chloroplast cellular enhancement in order to "go Green," is now the newest citizen of the Green Commonwealth of SciCity, on her way to finding her place in the upper ranks of her community . . . until she meets Gabe Stayton, an unlikely lab partner, gifted in science and math, and the only person she knows who has chosen to not be enhanced. Through a series of unusual events, Lyssa, a true city girl, ends up at a farm for spring break during the middle of a rebel insurgency that jeopardizes the safety of Green citizens. For the first time in her life, she must face a battle that threatens the lives of those around her as she learns that nothing is as simple as it seems on the surface. Can she save what she loves most in her life? Or is the price too high?


Contributor Bio(s): Ransom, Heather S.: - Life as a middle school science teacher for twenty-four years has allowed Heather an intimate look into the minds of thousands of young adults, most of whom are desperate to find their place in a society constantly changing around them. Many have found escape, ideas for facing challenges, or simply hope for a future where they can make a difference, through reading. So every year, even though she's teaching science, Heather has her classes read. And they imagine together what their futures might hold, telling stories about advances in technology that could change their world. Heather grew up in a family that loved stories. Her mom told incredible, fanciful adventures where she, along with her brother and sister, lived in a pond with tadpoles, or traveled across the dusty hills as Native Americans, or howled at the moon with the coyotes. As her mom told these stories, Heather became the character. She felt the water moving through her gills as she swam with Wally Wadpole. She tasted the dust in her mouth while riding her horse, Many Moons, on the hunt to bring back food to her tribe. She heard the coyotes calling her to come play, long after the stories were over. Heather fell in love with a good story, one that immersed her in a world that felt so real she never wanted to leave. This is what she hopes to bring to her readers. When not teaching or writing, Heather enjoys spending time with the man of her dreams, Marv, and their two absolutely amazing adult kids, Danielle and Marvin. Living in Grants Pass, Oregon, affords her the luxury of ample opportunities in the amazing outdoors, as well as helping out at their local businesses, a pizza pub and cigar shop. "Every day brings a new adventure. Dream the dream you want, then find the way to make it happen."
