Description
Myles is an average thirteen-year-old boy until one day, Sally Munson shows up with purple pants on that look like a Halloween costume. As classmates tease and make fun of her, Myles starts to see these negative words as fireballs of energy being thrown at Sally. He finds himself in the middle of a war one invisible to everyone but him!
In a suspenseful, supernatural tale of self-discovery and friendship with constant, unexpected twists and turns, Myles tries to understand his newfound superpower. He not only learns about the energy exchange between humans but the energy of all things.
Myles and his friends discover the new ZS phone is stealing people’s energy. Follow Myles as he navigates this new reality and works to stop the theft of this energy with the help of his friends.
"A universal delightful tale for young readers that retains the wholesome nature of this vulnerable age, without profane language, sex, or gory violence."
"A creative and unique story that changes the way the reader will see how negative words and actions matter, even to a stranger. A reminder that knowing oneself and kindness matters, and how we are all affected by what others say and do."
"Destined to be a middle-grade favorite, a teacher's middle school pick."
A supernatural, paranormal tale with beings from beyond, superpowers, tele kinetics, and more.
Grades 4th through 8th
Middle school, middle grade, teachers pick
Ages 9-13
A Note From the Publisher
Book 2 will release Fall 2025
Advance Praise
"Dee skillfully conveys basic tenets of quantum physics as she powers readers through the fast-paced story. The author also shows the simple power of kindness and what a difference it can make in a peer who is struggling. Myles proves this when he befriends Lucy, a girl from an often-moving military family. ”We also have a responsibility to not spread misery,” the protagonist opines, with wise words readers will learn from. “And you can’t fake it, because energy is real. You are affecting people around you even when you don’t know it. We need to learn to become aware of our own energy and to contain or control it.” This is tangible advice to readers who may be unconvinced of their important places in the world. Dee deftly makes the unusual and offbeat believable, with characters who engender loyalty. Skillful plotting and lively prose power readers through the pages, eager to find out the next step in Myles’ complicated destiny. Impatient readers won’t be happy to find that this tale ends on a tantalizing cliffhanger, but they’ll be eagerly awaiting the next installment."
