Young Adult
A computer-hacking teen. The girl who wants to save him. And a rogue mirror reflection that might be the death of them both. In private, 17-year-old Brandon hacks bank accounts for thousands of dollars just for the hell of it. In public, he looks like any other tattooed bad boy with a fast car and devil-may-care attitude. He should know, heβs worked hard to maintain that faΓ§ade. With inattentive parents who move cities every two years, heβs learned not to get tangled up in friends and relationships. So heβll just keep living like a machine, all gears and wires. Then two things shatter his carefully-built image: Emma, the kind, preppy girl who insists on looking beneath the surface β and the small matter of a mirror reflection that starts moving by itself. Not only does Brandonβs reflection have a mind of its own, but it seems to be grooming him for somethingβ washing the dye from his hair, yanking out his piercings, swapping his black shirts for β¦ pastels. Changes he canβt explain to his classmates, who think heβs having an identity crisis, and certainly not to nosy Emma, who thinks this is his backward apology for telling her to get lost. Then Brandonβs reflection tells him: it thinks it can live his life better, and itβs preparing to trade places. And when it pulls Brandon through the looking-glass, not only will he need all his ill-gotten hacking skills to escape, but heβll have to face some hard truths about who heβs become. Otherwise heβll be stuck in a digital hell until heβs old and gray, and Emma and his parents won't even know he's gone.
