Endless possibilities . . . <\/i><br \/>\nStel Alaster has never known life without the Corridor. It appeared suddenly seventeen years ago, the only portal to a parallel version of our world\u2014Second Earth. Everyone on First Earth fears Mods, the genetically modified Second Earthers who built the Corridor. They are too smart, too strong, and have powers that can\u2019t be controlled. Any Mod found on First Earth is branded, then detained in the Corridor\u2019s research labs.<br \/>\nOnly Stel has a dangerous secret. She has a power, too: She can open a portal to Second Earth . . . and several other parallel universes she\u2019s discovered. If anyone ever finds out, she\u2019ll be imprisoned, no better than a Mod or common lab rat.<br \/>\nBut when the Corridor starts to fail, emitting erratic bursts of energy that could destroy First Earth, Stel must risk everything to save the people and world she loves. With the help of an escaped Mod and an infuriatingly arrogant boy from a third universe, Stel sets out to unravel the mysteries of the Corridor and stabilize it before it\u2019s too late. The fate of every world lies in the balance. . . .<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2019-12-31T05:00:40+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"Happy Tuesday!\\r\\n\\r\\nTop Ten Tuesday\\u00a0is a Bookish Meme hosted by\\u00a0That Artsy Reader Girl, and this week's theme is FAVORITE BOOKS OF 2019!\\u00a0\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nSo...

When an unexpected encounter results in the girls\u2019 exchanging phone numbers, they forge a connection through text messages that expands into a private universe they call Starworld. In Starworld, they find hilarious adventures, kindness and understanding, and the magic of being seen for who they really are.

In Great Britain, sea creatures swim among the ruins of Big Ben and the Tower of London, and citizens waver between fear and hope; fear of what lurks in the abyss, and hope that humanity will soon discover a way to reclaim the Earth.<br \/>\nMeanwhile, sixteen-year-old Leyla McQueen has her own problems to deal with. Her father's been arrested, accused of taking advantage of victims of the Seasickness-a debilitating malaise that consumes people,often claiming their lives. But Leyla knows he's innocent, and all she's interested in is getting him back so that their lives can return to normal.<br \/>\nWhen she's picked to race in the action-packed London Submersible Marathon, Leyla gets the chance to secure his freedom; the Prime Minister promises the champion whatever their heart desires. The race takes an unexpected turn, though, and presents her with an opportunity she never wanted: Leyla must venture outside of London for the first time in her life, to find and rescue her father herself.<br \/>\nNow, she'll have to brave the unfathomable waters and defy a corrupt government determined to keep its secrets, all the while dealing with a secretive, hotheaded companion she never asked for in the first place. If she fails, or falls prey to her own fears, she risks capture\u2013and her father might be lost forever.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2019-12-31T05:00:40+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"Happy Tuesday!\\r\\n\\r\\nTop Ten Tuesday\\u00a0is a Bookish Meme hosted by\\u00a0That Artsy Reader Girl, and this week's theme is FAVORITE BOOKS OF 2019!\\u00a0\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nSo...
