Blurb:
Jen
is a seventeen-year old girl who gets average grades and has a boring normal
life except for one thing—she is a human
chameleon.
She
can transform herself into any inanimate object she touches. An ability she’s
hidden from everyone, especially her parents. After all she is just an average
girl so no one would believe she could do something so extraordinary. That is
until she meets Ainsley, a handsome artist at a gallery showing. His painting
are so beautiful and lifelike Jen wants to jump inside them and become one with
the fantastical worlds. When they go out to dinner after the gallery opening,
Jen senses there is something special about Ainsley too. He has a secret just
like hers.
They’d
make the perfect couple—if only his secret
wouldn’t kill her
Excerpt:
Excerpt From
The Girl Chameleon Episode One…
Speeding
through the air, my wings flash a kaleidoscope of colors as they pulse across
the bedroom. I make a sharp turn and bank toward the bay window. My momentum
quickly fades and I land gently on the carpet. I haven't learned to master
transforming into a real bird yet so I have to satisfy my curiosity about
flight by turning into a plastic toy instead. Kit, my five-year-old baby
brother, giggles with delight as he pulls the rubber band back and launches me
into the air again.
The
blissful feeling of flight is cut short when I hear Mom calling my name.
“Jennifer, get your butt down here right now. You’re going to make Kit late for
kindergarten.”
Mom
hollers again and I concentrate on the floor. First, my feet pop up, then my
arms and legs. A warm sensation spreads through my limbs as blood pumps through
my veins once again. It’s a feeling I’ve experienced since my first
transformation into a teddy bear at the age of
four.
