Brighton Academy - Paperback

Brighton Academy student Larken Marche is sixteen years old, and the only thing she wants to do is play lofting. As the most junior member on the varsity team, she has a real shot at making a career out of the team sport, and in 2201, Lofting is a great career choice.

Her best friend Molly Kostic is the kind of friend that both entertains and frustrates. Capable of telling the truth about half the time, when Molly decides that she likes Larken's (fraternal) twin brother Oliver, Larken doesn't know whether to be happy for her or nervous about the possibility that Oliver will become just another proverbial notch in Molly's belt.

When a strange boy, Elijah Grant, arrives at Brighton via transfer, he looks like a male copy of Larken, down to her nose and chin. Questions begin to circulate about Elijah's origins and rumors fly about them being triplets instead of twins, or worse, that she, Oliver, and Elijah might all three be clones. Before they can put the rumors to rest, a man is killed in downtown Portland by someone who looks exactly like Oliver, leading to Oliver's arrest. Larken and Molly work against the clock to rescue a brother Larken knows is innocent. Walking the line between two extremist factions, Larken and Oliver must fight for their right to exist.
