Not only is she impossibly tall and wildly unpredictable, she leads with her feelings, in contrast to everyone else's steady calm and logical demeanor. When Leeta's offended, she rages and attacks. When something touches her deeply, she gushes and weeps. No wonder she has always believed something's wrong with her, because clearly, she doesn't belong on Fure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Leeta suddenly finds out that what she's believed about herself is a lie, she is more than ready to discover the truth. Since no one on Fure is talking, her only hope is to go rogue and find her own answers. She travels forty light years in search of others like herself-assuming there are others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith just eight days to unearth her origin story, Leeta follows clues that lead her across time and space hoping to find where she truly belongs.

They'll be rooting for her to get what she needs, whether that means returning to Fure armed with the truth, staying in a far away place with her new found family, or finding home within her own heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFox, Annie:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Annie Fox is an author of books for children and teens.
