Praise for this book
The book opens with Cindy, on the run from a mysterious “Department.” She’s been transformed from a 67-year-old scientist into a teenage girl and has her father in the back of the van she stole to escape. She’d used a formula she’d developed to make her young again. Unfortunately, her father had been in the midst of a brain transplant, which was thwarted when the Department discovered them. Now, Cindy is stuck in the body of a 13-year-old with a decrepit father to lug around.
Meanwhile, Mary Braeburn is dealing with her own situation with the Department. She has freed her mother, Helen, from them, but they’re still on the run. Oh, and Helen can make fire.
As the book progresses, we meet all sorts of super-powered characters, all introduced in compelling situations. There’s a lizard woman, a flying woman, all dealing with their powers in a complicated tapestry of relationships. The characters stay grounded, but at its heart, it's fun escapism.This is one of the most creative, original ideas I’ve encountered lately. It’s a really fun read. It’s the kind of series where you want to start at the beginning and read all of them.
