Bypass the Stars

Seventeen-year-old Frankie Hartiger can reroute any elevator, steal the data from any ID chip, and scramble the facial recognition software on any security bot. The only thing she can't hack? Her parents. They won't trust her with a coffee order, never mind a position in their interworld exploration company. When their inaugural inter-universal tour goes wrong, Frankie sets out to rescue her parents-accompanied by Earth's first (and most annoying) interworld immigrant, Jord Mathison. But a transport malfunction hurtles them into the wrong world, where a deposed prince wears Jord's face. To the prince, Frankie's last name is equivalent to a curse: his world is dying, and Frankie's family is at fault. As a breadcrumb trail of conspiracies leads Frankie toward her parents, she's sure Jord knows more than he's willing to admit. If she can't forge a truce with him to root out the truth, she'll be stuck forever-and if the inhabitants get their way, she'll burn with their world.
