Meet Ann Belice

In the year 2291, humans live under the protection of the Tapestry, connected via Threads implanted in their brains to gently regulate their lives. Earth seems like a paradise, but the chaotic Fray is spreading through holes torn into the Tapestry. 

When Junior Olympic Skimmer Jagrav Mahajan’s Tapestry connection fails, he wrecks in a leg-shattering fall. Jag needs his mother’s approval to get a leg replacement, but she vanished with her cult of Pythagorean mathematical naturalists. 

Inspired by eco-superhero Breaker, African American high school student Nia Beckett hijacks a chicken-shaped solar vehicle. Before Normies end her protest, she has a terrifying moment in the Fray. Exiled during spring break to the decaying Five Palms “Resort” surrounded by wild jungle, Nia’s new mission becomes saving the place from development. She is unaware Jag is working against her. 

When they learn the Earth will die if Five Palms is destroyed, they join forces with a sloth-like person, a World Government official's son, and an annoying bald girl in Viking costume. The teens suspect Breaker is also at Five Palms on a mission of her own. What none of them know is that the fate of the world rests on the shoulders of a squirrel monkey.
