YA
Maisie, self-proclaimed "one-handed freak," goes to astronaut camp, but a cute fellow camper and alien technology that grants superpowers make the experience quite different from what she expected. The fluidly written story moves at lightning speed, though this hampers character development slightly; while some plot elements don't quite fit together, the action and well-handled romantic drama are the novel's real driving forces.
