Welcome to 2048. Every graduate of the B.E.S.T. Program can receive a bionic enhancement as a rite of passage in this inclusive tween series. For Ace Wells, it is just the beginning of his epic augmentation journey in book one of this near-future sci-fi trilogy.
Eleven-year-old Ace Wells's dream has finally come true: he is a new cadet in the B.E.S.T. (Biological Enhancement Systems Technology) Program. Until now, he's been living in the shadow of his superstar brother, Finn--but not for long.
This is new Ace! He knows he can make his mark on the world with SuperSoar wings, but on day one, nothing goes as planned. The antagonistic elevator AI Otis wants to eat his belongings, the physical feats set by his tough-nut coach are impossible, and his celebrity roommates are far from welcoming.
It becomes crystal clear that Ace is not prepared to fly--in any sense of the word.
As tensions build, Ace has a sinking suspicion that there's something more going on at B.E.S.T. than meets the eye. Will he ever make it to graduation and get the aug of his dreams? Join Ace and find out as he tests his strength and grit in this page-turning middle grade adventure!
Getting the aug of his dreams means surviving a school year full of:
- Bionic Enhancements: Ace has his heart set on SuperSoar wings, but at the B.E.S.T. program, every student's journey to augmentation is full of unexpected challenges.
- Sibling Rivalry: Can Ace ever step out of the shadow of his famous older brother, Finn, the first cadet to master super-speed TurboLegs?
- Unlikely Friendships: Between an elevator AI that wants to eat his luggage and celebrity roommates who want him gone, making friends might be Ace's toughest test.
- Coming of Age: With a growing suspicion that the school is hiding secrets, Ace must find the strength and grit to forge his own path and become the hero he's meant to be.
