"Eva and Addie started out the same way as everyone else-- two souls woven together in one body, taking turns controlling their movements as they learned how to walk, how to sing, how to dance. But as they grew, so did the worried whispers. Why aren't they settling? Why isn't one of them fading? The doctors ran tests, the neighbors shied away, and their parents begged for more time. Finally Addie was pronounced healthy and Eva was declared gone. Except, she wasn't. For the past three years, Eva has clung to the remnants of her life. Only Addie knows she's still there, trapped inside their body. Then one day, they discover there may be a way for Eva to move again. The risks are unimaginable-- hybrids are considered a threat to society, so if they are caught, Addie and Eva will be locked away with the others. And yet-- for a chance to smile, to twirl, to speak, Eva will do anything"--Publisher's web site.

The Emperor's Riddle

“A heart-tugging and mind-bending exploration of time and possibility.” —School Library Journal “A pleasure to read…full of heart and imagination.” —Kirkus Reviews “Zhang’s story is filled with real-world lessons on compassion and kindness with a sci-fi twist—a skillfully rendered framing device for exploring deeper issues of loss, longing, and acceptance.” —Publishers Weekly “With unwavering hope and focus, and new friendships with unlikely peers, the novel is entertaining and sweet.” —Booklist In the tradition of The Thing About Jellyfish and When You Reach Me, acclaimed author Kat Zhang offers a luminous and heartbreaking novel about a girl who is convinced that an upcoming solar eclipse will bring back her dead mother. One of the happiest memories twelve-year-old Sophia Wallace has is of her tenth birthday. Her mother made her a cake that year—and not a cake from a boxed-mix, but from scratch. She remembers the way the frosting tasted, the way the pink sugar roses dissolved on her tongue. This memory, and a scant few others like it, is all Sophia has of her mother, so she keeps them close. She keeps them secret, too. Because as paltry as these memories are, she shouldn’t have them at all. The truth is, Sophia Wallace’s mother died when she was six years old. But that isn’t how she remembers it. Not always. Sophia has never told anyone about her unusual memories—snapshots of a past that never happened. But everything changes when Sophia’s seventh grade English class gets an assignment to research solar eclipses. She becomes convinced that the upcoming solar eclipse will grant her the opportunity to make her alternate life come true, to enter a world where her mother never died. With the help of two misfit boys, she must figure out a way to bring her mother back to her—before the opportunity is lost forever.

Amy Wu and the Warm Welcome

«Addie et moi sommes nées dans le même corps. Deux âmes entrelacées bien avant de pousser notre premier cri. Les premières années vécues ensemble furent les plus heureuses. Puis vint le temps de l'inquiétude, et cette fameuse question que chacun se murmurait lorsque nous n'étions pas dans les parages : "Pourquoi ne tranchent-elles pas ?" Eh oui, trancher. Nous savions de quoi il s'agissait. Cela signifiait que l'une de nous devait prendre le contrôle. Et que l'autre, l'âme faible, devait être prête à s'éteindre...» Après avoir suivi de multiples thérapies et traitements, Eva ne devrait plus exister. Et pourtant... Piégé dans un corps qui n'est plus censé être le sien, son esprit n'a pas disparu. Elle et sa soeur sont désormais «hybride» : de ces êtres qui se cachent car ils n'osent pas trancher. Ces êtres que l'on traque pour les enfermer dans des hôpitaux, d'où ils ne reviennent jamais...

Hybride (Tome 1) - Ce qu'il reste de moi

Uma história original sobre a busca da identidade Eva e Addie nasceram como todas as outras crianças: duas almas entrelaçadas no mesmo corpo. À medida que cresciam, começavam os olhares de censura e os questionamentos: Por que elas não estão se definindo? Definindo. Todo ser humano se define ainda na infância, o que significa que a alma recessiva deve partir para que a dominante possa ter uma vida normal. Mas isso nunca acontecia e Eva, a alma recessiva, continuava lá... escondida no próprio corpo. Eva e Addie eram híbridas. Considerados instáveis e perigosos, os híbridos foram perseguidos e eliminados das Américas. Por isso, Addie e Eva vivem da forma mais discreta possível. Mas Eva descobre que há uma chance de voltar a andar, falar e sorrir por conta própria, e agora está disposta a tudo para conseguir isso. O problema é que não estará arriscando apenas a própria vida. Afinal, ela nunca está sozinha.

O que restou de mim

Eva and Addie started out just like everybody else: two souls inside the same body that take turns controlling their host. As they grew, Addie became the dominant soul and Eva the passive one, or so everyone thought. Eva decides she must assert what is left of herself despite the risks.
