For fans of Dune, Wool, and Under the Never Sky.

For as long as anyone can remember, the world outside the Biome has been a death sentence. Inside its glass dome, life is safe. The air is clean. The food is measured. Seventeen filters stand between its people and the poisoned world beyond — and Eria Stevenson has never once questioned the price of that safety.

When a day meant for celebration turns to tragedy, Eria stumbles onto the secret the Biome has spent her whole life keeping buried. Now she’s on the run — from the people who built her perfect world, and the lies that hold it together. Beyond the glass, the desert shows no mercy: sand serpents in the dunes, dingoes that hunt in packs, storms that swallow people whole.

The closer she gets to the truth, the more she realizes the biggest lie was never about the air, or the desert, or the enemy closing in from every side.

It’s about what she is.

16-year-old Ada Lovelace is never more alive and sure of herself than when she’s hacking into a “secure” network as her alter ego, the Dark Angel. In the real world, Ada is broken, reeling from her best friend Simone’s recent suicide. But online, the reclusive daughter of Senator Lovelace (champion of the new Technology Privacy Bill) is a daring white hat hacker and the only female member of the Orwellians, an elite group responsible for a string of high-profile hacks against major corporations, with a mission to protect the little guy.

Ada is swiftly proving she’s a force to be reckoned with, when a fellow Orwellian betrays her to the FBI. To protect her father’s career, Ada is sent to ReBoot, a technology rehab facility for teens…the same rehab Simone attended right before killing herself.

When Ada realizes Simone’s suicide is just one in an increasingly suspicious string of “accidental” deaths occurring just after kids leave ReBoot, she knows she can’t leave without figuring out what really happened to her best friend. The massive cyber conspiracy she uncovers will threaten everything she cares about—her dad’s career, her new relationship with a wry, handsome, reformed hacker, Fisher, and most of all—the Dark Angel.

ReWired delves into technology addiction, internet privacy, and corporate/government collection of data.

Gabby is a disgruntled tween angel who has just been assigned to protect her school nemesis and ex-beffie. Problem is her ex-beffie is dating Gabby’s longtime crush. Instead of protecting Angela, Gabby pranks her (since when is sticking toilet paper to her shoe or spinach in her teeth a sin?) Soon, Gabby gets out of control and is put on probation by her SKYAgent, who has anger management issues of his own.

Determined to right her wrongs, Gabby steals an ancient artifact that allows her to return to Earth for just one day. Without knowing, she kicks off a series of events and learns what can happen when you hate someone to death.
