THE LEAFWING

by Deborah Copeland

They walk amongst us pretending, but I can see them.
I know what they are.
I can hear you inside my head.
I know what you are.
Funny. I think you know
What I am too.

Amelia Ricci remembers when being plain and nerdy was safe.

But everything changed the day she discovered that monsters disguised as teenagers attend her school. In fact, one befriends her, and her entire world is changed forever when he reveals what she really is; that she’s not just a mundane girl at school.

Now Amelia has the chance to solve the puzzle to the questions that have plagued her for years.

As she embraces her true identity, Amelia, along with her monster friends, are zapped into ancient worlds where butterflies talk, gnomes become spies, and allies turn into enemies as she seeks to discover the truth.
