This sounds like a great book for young adults. I like the theme of friendship and teamwork. The brilliant world-building is an equally attractive feature as well.

This is a sci-fi coming-of-age story about a teenage girl who discovers she is really an alien. The characters are well-developed and likeable. It is exciting as she tries to find a missing orb that can save her planet. Congratulations to the author for being chosen as BOTD. Grest review! Thanks to the reviewer for a job well done.

I have been searching all over for a good book that would interest me, and it's so amazing how this one is just made available at the right time. This book sounds like it would be right up my alley, a well-developed plot, intriguing themes that are explored and a good protagonist. There's no way I'm passing this one up!

An intriguing coming-of-age story filled with action, adventure, and intrigue! This is not genre, but I just decided to give it a try after reading the first four chapters! I really liked the author's writing style! Plus, it is well edited! Thank you for the detailed review!

Thanks for the review, but I've had my fill of characters who discover that they're a [fill in the blank] with the power(s) of [fill in the blank] and they're now needed to save [fill in the blank]. I therefore will not be reading Sophia's story.

Young Adult is not strictly meant for my age group, but after reading review I really liked the storyline and all other details given in it, so I think to make exception and am going to read this book. Seems it has great female characters and focus on friendship is good addition as well. Thank you for recommendation.

Sometimes I wonder why would a human mind be able to conjure something that is non existent or can never exist. In the near future stories like this may be in the mainstream media. Just a thought. Good review.

This is excellent review, well-written and full of essence. This looks like it will make for a very interesting read. I am usually partial to YA so this will pose no hardship. Congrats to the author on #BOTD
