A place where freedom for all blooms as abundantly as the flowering vines that cover the buildings on every street. Yet even in this beautiful town, a kid like Maia’s got problems.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Maia is a shapeshifter.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e And worse, she’s starting middle school.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In every generation, a special few of Nor Numinem are born shapeshifters: children who develop the mysterious ability to transform into a part-animal shape. Unfortunately for Maia, her ability is merely this: to grow giant moth wings that grow uncontrollably out of her back whenever she’s excited, or upset, or for some reason, whenever her new classmate Luke looks at her in a particular way. Worse than worse? Maia’s wings are useless. Weak and fragile--unlike her talented friends.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e But Maia’s problems are about get much harder than even she knows. A strange illness is spreading through the gardens of Nor Numinem. The very gardens that feed and sustain this once-perfect town. Worse still, some of the adults think the shapeshifter children are to blame. A rumors turn into hate, life gets tougher for those who aren't seen as \"normal\". Maia and her friends will soon discover that there is a dark rift in Nor Numinem, one that will take all their talents, known and unknown, to heal.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48684213600485,"sku":"NP9781668210871","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/the-shapeshifters-guide-to-gym-class-isbn-9781668210871","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
