The Leafwing

by Deborah Copeland

Fourteen-year-old Amelia Ricci goes to school every day thinking that everything is normal. Same faces. Same friends. Same boring city.

Soon she discovers that something is a bit off; that a pack of recluse Tony Hawk wannabes aren’t really human. But the scary part is only she can see them. She’s the only one who knows their secret.

Things start to get really complicated because while she’s watching them, they’re watching her…at midnight, at dusk, even in her dreams.
