This is a book for anyone who has ever felt stifled by the system; anyone who has ever questioned authority and asked "Why do things have to be this way?" Meet Alyssa, from Realm 77, a hi-tech utopia where those who question authority aren't treated kindly. Even stranger, the only person who does is Alyssa. Ostracized from her peers since childhood, and subjected to numerous medical tests by the mysterious Elders, Alyssa grows more and more intolerant of the Realm. When it's discovered she's developing incredible powers, Alyssa escapes to Earth to live a normal life in a small college town, but the Elders won't allow it. It's only when she's forced to return to the realm that her powers truly manifest. All she wanted to do was hang out, go to some clubs, and be "normal". But, that's not Alyssa's destiny.
