—————————————

Thin Ice | By Cici Affini

Like most kids in her high school, Cassie was born without superpowers. But just because she can’t shoot ice from her fingers doesn’t mean she’s going to let her or her best friend be bullied by the only Chimeran at their school. Cassie doesn’t need powers to be extraordinary, but taking matters into her own hands comes at a cost that changes the course of her future. Content Warning: Sexual Assault

Days Gone By | By Leo Petracci

Have you ever wished for more hours in a day? Felicity can speed up time in a small bubble while the rest of the world idles. Powers like hers are always in demand — and highly paid. But when she discovers the hidden price of her abilities, she has to make a difficult choice.

Out-and-Back | By Alethea Ashton

Hannah wasn’t supposed to be a Chimeran. As a kid, she had high expectations, but her powers never appeared. Now that she’s a senior in high school, she doesn’t mind so much — as long as she gets to run track. She’s a first-place winner in the non-Chimeran division. When her late-blooming abilities suddenly appear, they threaten her place on the team—and her college scholarships. Hannah has to decide what’s worth more: her integrity or her future.
