520    "My name is Caitlin Feral, and I'm about to face my final 
       Testing Day. My younger brother and mom hope I return: 
       that I survive the tests (which is not a given) and that I
       am still a dreg. They want me to stay here with them to 
       keep what's left of our family together. They want me to 
       stay here, in the shadow of the Genetic Wars, with mutant 
       animal attacks, protectors in faceless helms eager to 
       catch us in the slightest infractions, and a menial work 
       placement that's waiting with my name on it if I fail the 
       tests. But that's not what I dream about. In my dreams, I 
       can lift a bus. I can fly. I have to Manifest. If I do, my
       classmate Lilianne and teacher Mrs. Cranberry will stop 
       their bullying, and I can leave the danger and the dirt 
       and the lack of food and medication and move to Jupitar 
       City to be adopted by a Supergenic family. That's the 
       promise -- if Testing Day doesn't kill me first. "I barely
       got out of there. They're not afraid to kill us. They're 
       not afraid to kill you." That's what my classmate Normand 
       said after he returned from his testing, barely able to 
       stand. But he's soft; I'm not... right? The Treaty will 
       protect me, and the Supergenics can only test within 
       reasonable parameters to find their own kind, but the 
       terror and pain in Normand's eyes makes me sweat and my 
       heart race. What if the rules have changed? And what if I 
       am a mere DNA regular? What if I'm nothing like the 
       Supergenic heroes I read about in the comic books they 
       send us from Jupitar City? Today, I find out. And I do 
       know one thing. I would rather die trying than be stuck 
       being me for the rest of my life. DON'T BE DNA REGULAR. BE
       GENERATION MANIFESTATION. The action-packed, heart-
       pounding adventure of Gen M begins here! Warnings : for 
       fans of strong female protagonists, LGBTQ positivity, 
       important neurodiverse characters, unexpected heroism, 
       unexpected villainy and other unpredictabilities. Earlier 
       version published as I Want Superpowers. Fans of Hunger 
       Games , Divergent , 1984 , Brendan Sanderson's Steelheart 
       or Marvel's X-Men and X-Force will love Generation 
       Manifestation ! "A richly realized dystopian world that 
       reads like The Hunger Games meets X-Men." -- Ryan Porter, 
       The Toronto Star "A teenager must determine where her true
       alliances rest in Generation Manifestation, a dark 
       dystopian novel directed by tough choices and earned 
       wisdom... with heartrending twists." -- Foreword Clarion 
       Review "I LOVED THIS!... it's on my list of the best books
       I've ever read... You think you know what is going to 
       happen, but you have no idea how many times my predictions
       were wrong." -- Elizabeth Sagan, MyBookFeatures "One of 
       the best things about this book was in the start I 
       expected it to take the same beaten path. But it subverted
       my expectations. And I couldn't predict where the book was
       going next." -- Ananya B, Goodreads "When I finished the 
       last page, I had to close my eyes for a second and try to 
       keep my mind together. I am not sure if it was an ending 
       or a new beginning... This book is hands down my favorite 
       so far this year. It was easy to read, very well written, 
       and detailed." -- Books of Cat, Goodreads "This book had 
       the perfect mix of world building, character development 
       and rich content that were tied beautifu"--|cProvided by
