Imagine discovering you were the most famous girl in the solar system and the most elusive celebrity of all time! Davlie is about to enter Secondary School / Spacer Track—which means taking seven demanding courses (goodbye, free time), having to make new friends (not one kid she knows from her MS is Spacer-bound), and learning to jet-pack (which would be a thrilling prospect if she wasn't petrified of heights!). Of course Davlie also wants to keep up her old friendships and her popular LLOL blog. All that would be challenging enough without nightly dreams that always end with a shattering explosion.Davlie wonders if the dreams are her long-lost memories of how she lost her real parents. Little does she know that, when she pushes her mind, her adoptive parents, and even her neurologist, the memory she recovers will shatter her whole self-concept—and threaten to shatter her life.
