Part human. Part alien. Being superhuman doesn't make them immune to love. Or to heartbreak. Akeelah never asks to be different. She sure doesn't ask to be a hybrid. She doesn't want to be a psychic orbweaver like her people-able to create new worlds with only a thought. She. Just. Wants. To. Be. A. Girl. More precisely, Saffron's girl. Saffron's her best friend, a hybrid like her-and hot. Being superhuman doesn't make him immune to love. Or heartbreak. His one focus-Akeelah. Coming into their powers and against the wishes of their android guardians, together Akeelah and Saffron practice their psychic skills. Because of the dangers of orbweaving, the guardians they trust take Akeelah away, zap her memory. Saffron can't live without Akeelah. All he wants is her memory restored, so she knows she's in love with him. But trust is rare in a world full of deception, androids, and aliens-even when two people love each other.
