These are the mandates young, alien best friends, Aly and Catty, must follow if they want to be of worth to their tribe. Most people in their village have an entire childhood to perfect such traits. However, time is of the essence, when a dangerous rite of passage meant to test these qualities gets boosted years ahead of schedule.
Matters are made worse as the two try to prepare for the Evaluationsβ arrival. Alyβs childhood is filled with dreadful school days, thanks to the peers who verbally and physically harass her since she cannot form pure energy from her hands, like everyone else. Catty also falls victim to the attacks whenever she tries to defend her friend, and learns she has no other choice but to join in on the fun if she does not want to get bullied along with her. As the Evaluations near, a strong friendship is challenged, and a bitter rivalry is spawned from it. This doesnβt take away from a real danger approaching the tribe. One has yet to be seen, and another is right underneath their noses.
*Novel contains science fiction violence and some mild language. Recommended for middle grade and up.
