An exclusive ebook original short story by the author of Starters.

Lissa Price has written children's television for Jim Henson Productions and is an award-winning screenwriter. She lives in the foothills of Southern California, but has previously travelled the world; walking with elephants in Botswana, swimming with penguins in the Galápagos and travelling with nomads in India. When she sat down to write, she found that the most surprising journeys were still inside her mind.
