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, he’s worked hard
to
maintain that façade. With inattentive parents who move
cities every two years, he’s learned not to get tangled up
in friends and relationships. So he’ll 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
— and the small matter of a mirror reflection that starts
moving by itself. Not only does Brandon’s reflection have
a
mind of its own, but it seems to be grooming him for
something— washing the dye from his hair, yanking out his
piercings, swapping his black shirts for … pastels.
Changes
he can’t explain to his classmates, who think he’s having
an
identity crisis, and certainly not to nosy Emma, who
thinks
this is his backward apology for telling her to get lost.
Then Brandon’s reflection tells him: it thinks it can live
his life better, and it’s 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 he’ll have to face some hard truths about who
he’s become. Otherwise he’ll be stuck in a digital hell
until he’s old and gray, and Emma and his parents won't
even
know he's gone.
