Alien "feeders" hunt the citizens of Santa Dymphna, and it's up to sixteen-year-old Lori and interdimensional creature Handler to stop them. When Lori finds a group of captive super-powered teens, she quickly learns that there are bigger dangers. The action proceeds at breakneck speed; a cast of racially and physically diverse characters and an emphasis on self-acceptance raise the novel above standard sci-fi adventure.
