Friendless, schoolwork-obsessed Frances Janvier's only nonacademic interest is her favorite sci-fi podcast. Universe City may be a monster-infested university, but it's the one place Frances can be herself. Then she meets Aled, the podcast's anonymous creator and fellow queer teen. Frances and Aled together explore a pathway to happiness that celebrates non-traditional identities and definitions of success.

Sixteen-year-old Tori Spring is a self-described "pessimist introvert psychopath," who'd rather read blogs than deal with people. Then an anonymous group begins orchestrating elaborate pranks at her high school--pranks that escalate dangerously and may have to do with Tori. The central story line lacks cohesion, but Tori's struggles with depression and isolation may resonate with younger teen readers.
