Product Information
A bolt of lightning inspires an incredible adventure in this charming, magical realism story that takes four teens on an all-night journey through the streets of New York City. Extraordinary things happen when we least expect them. Tiny, Lu, Will and Nathaniel used to be best friends. Then life-defining events the summer before high school tore them apart. Now, three years later, they hardly talk anymore. Nathaniel has become obsessed with winning the prestigious science scholarship that his genius older brother once won. Will has risen from anonymity to popular soccer star. Lu grew into a brash, impetuous actress. And shy, poetic Tiny has slowly been fading away. But fate weaves their lives together again the night before the SATs, during a wild thunderstorm that threatens to shut down New York City. And lightning strikes. Before they know what's hit them, the four teens embark on an epic all-night adventure to follow their dreams, fall in and out of love, reconcile the past, and overcome the fears that have been driving them since that one lost summer. And by the time the sun rises, odds are they'll discover that there's a fine line between science and magic, and that the mysteries of love and friendship can't be explained.

Reviews
Three years after their middle-school friendship unraveled, a catastrophic storm pulses through New York City, and Tiny, Lu, Will, and Nathaniel are forced together again upon a roof where lightning strikes them, "the kind of lightning that cracks with a vengeance . . . the kind that brings with it a courageous, unpredictable magic." As they race through the city afterward, their innermost fears and worries seem to turn into realities. Tiny swears she's beginning to disappear; Lu's literally numb to everything, not just wishing she was; Will's physical features are as unstable as his feelings; and Nathaniel has become who he's always thought he wanted to be: as perfect as his brother. As the storm continues to brew, the quartet begin to understand themselves and the events that have brought them together again. The universal theme of this fantasy tinged coming of-age tale is conveyed through third-person chapters that alternate focus among the characters, flashbacks that unravel the event that tore them apart, and a touch of mystery and magic. Most readers will choose to believe in the unbelievable. -- Meghan Oppelt, In third-person chapters that flip between her characters' past and present, Davies acutely expresses their innermost feelings, hopes, and vulnerabilities. As these four teens crisscross the city, contemplating who they really are and what makes them worthy of friendship and love, readers will be hard-pressed not to reflect on similar questions themselves., Three years after their middle-school friendship unraveled, a catastrophic storm pulses through New York City, and Tiny, Lu, Will, and Nathaniel are forced together again upon a roof where lightning strikes them, "the kind of lightning that cracks with a vengeance . . . the kind that brings with it a courageous, unpredictable magic." As they race through the city afterward, their innermost fears and worries seem to turn into realities. Tiny swears she's beginning to disappear; Lu's literally numb to everything, not just wishing she was; Will's physical features are as unstable as his feelings; and Nathaniel has become who he's always thought he wanted to be: as perfect as his brother. As the storm continues to brew, the quartet begin to understand themselves and the events that have brought them together again. The universal theme of this fantasy tinged coming of-age tale is conveyed through third-person chapters that alternate focus among the characters, flashbacks that unravel the event that tore them apart, and a touch of mystery and magic. Most readers will choose to believe in the unbelievable. -- Meghan Oppelt, As a monumental thunderstorm threatens New York City, high school juniors Nathaniel, Will, Tiny, and Lu confront their pasts and attempt to make a future together. The four former best friends are thrust together the night before the SATs. Trapped on the roof of Will's home, they are the victims of a lightning strike that leaves each changed in a remarkable way. Seamless weaving of past and present gives readers glimpses into why each character has been transformed by the event. As the teens fight to return to normal in time for the SATs, friendships are rekindled and love rediscovered. Davies creates a fun adventure that will appeal to romantics who wish for a life-altering moment of their own. Nathaniel's superhuman strength and Will's uncontrolled body-morphing are examples of elements that beg readers to let go of reality and buckle up for the ride. The protagonists all realize how precious love is, whether it is for another or oneself, before they are ready to get back to normal. Jumping between present and past keeps the story fresh and fast, sucking in reluctant readers ready for a fun romance. Fans of David Levithan will appreciate the real-life struggles balanced with quirky elements. VERDICT For those who enjoy a touch of magic with their romance., "The third-person narration interleaves "now" with "then" sections, shifting focus to alternate among all four protagonists. The voices are well-drawn . . . Davies captures a realness to these . . .teens' interactions and history. Both "then" and "now" plots combine to make an engaging work."
