Five-year-old Kendall Frodell is a genius and has been ever since she was born. The fact that she can and does read high school material, can mentally solve a wide array of equations, and has an incredible memory for trivia could've all easily skipped her from Kindergarten to fifth grade. But Kenny's intelligence (along with her voice) hides behind vague, situation-based index cards and rewritten answers. Things quickly change when she becomes afflicted with peculiar fainting spells-- ones where she walks, writes, and even solves equations while seemingly unconscious. Her erudition is unwillingly revealed, and she's whisked off to an academy for people like her. Very suddenly becoming aware of a whole society of gifted children, school has never been more challenging. An enforced social hierarchy, infamously harsh teachers, blockheaded children-- and the brief disappearances of her classmates only add to everything. In the style of both Ender's Game and the X-Men, The Prodigies is a piece of speculative fiction that will leave you...curious. Highest Ranking: #2 in Science Fiction [©2017-2018.

Iꜰ Aᴄᴇ Rᴇɴsʜᴀᴡ ᴡᴇʀᴇ ᴀ ᴘʟᴀʏɪɴɢ ᴄᴀʀᴅ, ʜᴇ'ᴅ ʙᴇ ᴛʜᴇ Kɪɴɢ ᴏꜰ Hᴇᴀʀᴛs... || Writer of the Year Award -- Second Place Winner || Ace Renshaw is a teenage gambler. After his sister left for college and his father turned to alcohol, he was left with nothing but bitter jealousy. His motto? "Love does nothing but destroy." He's turned from romance, and instead, lives off the rush he gets from doing things he shouldn't be doing. Every month, Ace meets up with a group of friends to make a bet. They'll dare him to do something illegal, something dangerous, something they're convinced he cannot do. Then they sit back and watch as Ace proves them wrong. One bleak February afternoon, Ace is presented with his hardest challenge yet. Never has he tinkered with emotions before -- it was always breaking and entering, or vandalism, or stealing. But this time? This time, Ace has one month to get a girl who firmly believes in rules to fall in love. With him. The plan was to seduce her, to lure her in with false flattery and artificial emotions... and then, he'd break her heart. Bonus points if she cried. And yet, as new friendships are forged, secrets are exposed, and previously unknown emotion starts to blossom, Ace starts to wonder if maybe, just maybe, falling in love wouldn't be that disastrous after all. ---------------------- AMAZING cover design by @atroXity !

The wind howled through the abandoned compound, rustling leaves and debris. It was unclear to the group what had happened here, but the reddish-brown stains covering the ground was more than enough to inform them that whatever had happened three years ago did not end well. What they didn't know was that what had happened those years ago was about to repeat itself. And soon. ***Sorry for the absolute crap description, but I wanted this up here and I needed something to describe it. The story is much better written than this snippet here, so I apologize. But please, enjoy reading!***
