Carly Taylor entered into a new world after a military plane crashed at her school. The event blasted her with pieces of metal along with embedding a piece into her skull, too fatal to remove. While paralyzing her from the waist down, she became technokinetic, a mystery to herself and everyone else if they knew. Years later, she risked exposing herself by entering a summer internship of a lifetime with the U.S. Cyber Security. It was one step closer to uncovering secrets about her past that only a database of confidential files could reveal. With luck, her new knowledge would fill the hole in her and allow her to begin the carefree life she always wanted. Of course, her technokinesis, if discovered by the wrong people, could lock her in a research lab for good. And at twenty-one years old, a sophomore in college, in a wheelchair, and amazingly gifted with computers, her existence itself drew more attention than she could ever want. It became a race to discover the truth as summer came to a close and more people began to suspect something fishy about Carly. While Carly's task was seemingly easy, it came with sorting out who she could trust and who was toxic. She was never good at choosing good company to begin with.

This is the original, unedited version of Light as a Feather, Book #1. This book was the inspiration for the Hulu Original Series. The revised version is now available in bookstores throughout the USA & Canada from Simon Pulse. McKenna Brady thinks her junior year of high school is going to be the best ever when she's welcomed into the elite group of popular girls at Weeping Willow High School led by blonde, gorgeous Olivia Richmond. Prior to junior year, McKenna was known in her small town as the girl whose twin sister died in a tragic house fire, and she's overjoyed at the prospect of redefining her identity. She has a date to the Homecoming dance with Olivia's handsome older brother, and a good chance of being elected to student council. For the first time since McKenna's parents divorced, things are looking up. But everything changes the night of Olivia's Sweet Sixteen sleepover birthday party. Violet, the shy, mysterious new girl in town, suggests that the girls play a scary game called Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board, during which Violet makes up elaborate stories about the future ways in which beautiful Olivia, brassy Candace, and athletic Mischa will die. The game unsettles McKenna because she's already escaped death once in her life, but she doesn't want to ruin her friends' fun. It's only a game, she reminds herself.
