Rated G (Good, Great) -- Resource Links Nigel Lukes, 16, dreams about a better world and about becoming a great writer. His delight in his creative-writing class is almost as exciting as the romance that has blossomed between him and a new student, Michelle. Nigel has never met anyone like her. She is strange, somehow, yet he loves her serious and forward nature, and she cheers him on in his writing. For a class assignment, Nigel is working on a futuristic novel about a world run by 15- to 21-year-olds. The book gets published and attracts more attention than he could ever imagine, both positive and negative. And Michelle holds secrets that, when revealed, change his life forever as their romance takes Nigel into his own created future. Choyce has written a beautiful story that will draw readers in to its possibilities. -- Nancy D. Tolson, Mitchell College, New London, CT "Choyce has written a beautiful story that will draw readers in to its possibilities." -- School Library Journal
