OLDER FICTION
Griffin, Emily Ziff

Light Years

(3) YA When her emotions are high, talented coder Luisa Ochoa-Jones experiences "sensory misfires": sights have temperature, sounds have taste, etc. Still, she wants life after high school to be on her own terms and pursues a big-name tech scholarship--which, it turns out, might help her save humanity from a deadly flu epidemic. The novel's not-too-distant-future setting and somber but urgent tone should prompt deep existential thoughts.
