Reality shifting could destroy Lina's life--or help her overthrow a government conspiracy... While coping with classes and crushes at an elite private school that has a 'big brother' approach to surveillance and implants strange I.D. tags under each student's skin, Lina Pawlak discovers that students are disappearing. A government agency, Special Force, is creating a superior race of humans by weeding out those with "corrupt" DNA. Lina yearns to be a normal teenage girl, though she's anything but "normal." She's a shifter, and her realities are about to multiply. Shifting from one reality to the next, she clings to sanity, tries to prevent a mass genocide and deals with a reoccurring dilemma--she can't save everyone in every reality. Reviews: "In Halli Lilburn's sci-fi adventure, Shifters, a group of elite students traverse a minefield of alternate realities to discover there's one enduring thing worth fighting for--their freedom." --Judith Graves, author of the Skinned series "A spellbinder that captures the reader on the first page. Eerily insightful and possible, chilling." --Christina Francine, Midwest Book Review "Shifters is more than just a YA book. It's a book that causes you to stop and think about the way that we view anyone who is different than us. It will move you and have you turning the pages." --Jeff Rivera, author of Forever My Lady… (more)
