Quiznot

When fifteen-year-old Timothy Starr accidentally destroys a chemistry lab and collapses a grandstand full of people, he's sent away to the remote Smithson School in New Hampshire. But this is no ordinary prep school...

In this gripping YA sci-fi thriller, nothing is as it seems, and Timothy's greatest challenge will be determining who to trust when every choice could lead to catastrophe for him and planet Earth.
