Bella Anderson has spent her whole life feeling like the side character in someone else's story. She's clever, funny, stubborn, and loyal, but nothing about her has ever felt special. The only thing she's sure of is Leo Dooley, her best friend since they were six. He's her safe place, her chaos partner, and the one person who makes her feel like she matters.
When Bella's home life falls apart, moving in with the Davenports turns her world upside down. Overnight she's living in a mansion full of robots, secret elevators, and three bionic teenagers who make her feel painfully normal. Still, Bella refuses to fade into the background. She meddles, she questions everything, she sneaks into the lab when she shouldn't, and somehow she earns her own place in their strange, high-tech family.
But nothing challenges Bella more than Bree Davenport. Bree is fast, confident, sharp, and everything Bella feels like she'll never be. Bella keeps telling herself that the tightness in her chest when Bree stands too close is just admiration. It isn't. And hiding those feelings while living ten feet away from her might be the hardest mission of all.
As threats target the Davenport household, Bella discovers that bravery isn't about powers or tech. It's about choosing to stand with the people you love, even when you're terrified. For the first time, Bella Anderson isn't the side character. She's the one changing the story, especially Bree's.
