Publisher's Synopsis
Jen Kallis never forgot the night her father vanished into a strange, white light from inside her closet. Even though no one believed her, Jen knew what she'd seen and refused to accept that her dad had abandoned her and mom. Growing up, she was made fun of for her accusations and was labeled an outcast. Jen's mother even retreated from their relationship, having developed severe depression after losing her husband. Jen was truly left alone to raise herself in such a difficult time. Ten years later, Jen, now 17, remains haunted by his disappearance. Luckily, she has a best friend and a boyfriend to keep her distracted from the pain within. She is now able to move on and focus on her future, that is until one night, without warning, her closet door bursts open and reveals a bright white light, welcoming her to the possibility of finding her father. Stepping through the light, Jen time travels to the year 2222 to a world far different from her own. Everything in Blue City is strange, with buildings that soar too high in the sky, hover cars that zoom on transparent blue streets, and robots that look just like humans. When Jen is confronted by Asher, an attractive commander with a rebellious spirit who warns that her life is in danger, she convinces him to help her escape and find her father. Together they embark on a wild journey with a red-headed boy genius named Lark who may know what happened to her father. In a fast-paced tale where survival is essential and where life-threatening setbacks presents themselves in full, Jen must learn how to overcome every obstacle that she is faced with. It seems like no matter what she does, she is faced with opposition, especially from Asher's scary ex-girlfriend, Rogue, who seems bent on keeping Jen and Asher from falling in love. In the mist of opposition, Jen discovers that there's something far bigger than her quest to find her father: the fate of the world-past, present, and future-is in her hands. Does she have what it takes to complete her mission, or will everything she's fought hard to keep, be pulled from under her feet?
