"Debut author Sharp masterfully blends fantasy, teen drama, and a
strong message of environmentalism into a white-hot
narrative...Sharp also paints his fantasy elements...in tantalizing
brush strokes." —KIRKUS Rising sea levels, droughts, earthquakes,
tornadoes. Far below the earth's crust, imprisoned in ancient
slumber, the elemental powers of the land grow restless...
Meanwhile, in small town Virginia, Chloe McClellan's first day of
sophomore year was an epic fail. After she becomes the target of
the fiery queen of the It-Girls in gym, she gains instant notoriety
when she's struck by lightning. That's when things start to get
weird. There are disconcerting gaps in her memory, and freaky
weather seems to follow her everywhere. She comes to believe that
either she's going insane, or her accident has awoken a terrifying
creature from mythology, triggering the final countdown to the
extinction of humankind. Chloe finds unlikely help from a trio of
male classmates: the grounded captain of the football team, the
flighty stoner with a secret, and the enigmatic transfer student
who longs for the sea. All the while, she struggles with the
growing realization that dragons exist, and she, and her friends,
may be the only ones who can stop them. In the first book in the
epic new Tipping Point Prophecy series, global dragon mythology is
reimagined against a backdrop of ecological disaster, high school
angst, and the power of the human spirit when working in accord
with the elements. "A cautionary modern tale about climate change
and pollution. The realistic, adolescent dramas buffeting [the]
clever protagonist...are just as well-crafted as the passages on
Chinese mythology and five-clawed, flying beasts." —SLATE Book
