If that weren't enough, sheās been dreaming about an accident; one sheās had no memory of until now and, if true, means McKenzie is responsible for her motherās death. When McKenzie stumbles upon a portal, transporting her and her friend Hayes to the tiny planet of Circanthos, she learns the inhabitants believe she is the āOneā destined to save them from H.G. Wells, a name that sounds strangely familiar, and his Tsendi warriors. But while her newfound ability might give her superhero status back on Earth, halfway across the galaxy itās commonplaceāall Circanthians can particle-weaveāand if they canāt stop H.G. Wells, what can she hope to do? With the portal closed and no idea how to get home, McKenzie must learn to use a power she does not want and accept her mysterious past, or risk losing everythingāher fatherās love, her new alien friends and the boy. WHEELS is a sci-fi adventure filled with mystery and romanceāa coming-of-age tale that proves it takes more than super powers to save a planet.
