Two Years Ago
“Mom, Dad, I’m home!” Kayleigh said, arriving from school. “My birthday’s been awesome!”
It had been a great thirteenth birthday so far, Kayleigh thought, even with having to go to school. Her mom had woken her up with her favorite breakfast in bed—pancakes and waffles with bananas Foster and decaf coffee. Her dad had given her a gift card to buy some new songs, and already her Me3 page had over twenty congratulatory messages.
Kayleigh didn’t even mind that she only spoke with five of the twenty people who had left messages on her Me3. Most of her class had befriended each other online but didn’t ever speak in school. They would post messages, music, or photos on their pages and send stuff to each other but seldom actually hung-out.
Kayleigh dumped her leather backpack on the long wooden bench that ran along one side of the small mudroom. Water cascaded to the floor as she pulled off her purple rain hat, shook the water off, and let her wavy auburn hair tumble down her back. She hung her jacket on a small wooden peg above the bench, and she kicked off her boots. Her feet shoved into a pair of worn oxfords, she pushed open the door to the family room.
She paused midway, and her eyes widened. It looked like a tornado had gone through the house. The overturned couch partially blocked the door, its cushions strewn across the floor. Jagged cuts in the sofa's fabric revealed its stuffing. She squeezed through the doorway and climbed over the back of the couch. Glass crunched under her feet as she took a step into the room. Her mother’s collection of delicate swan figurines lay in pieces on the floor, along with books, papers, and other knickknacks.
“Mom? Dad? What happened?”

Résumé
What if, with a simple thought, you could change everything about yourself?
On the first day of high school, Kayleigh wishes she could be taller, curvier, and cooler. But when she discovers she's a morph -- shape-shifters who can become anyone or anything -- the boundaries around personality, sexuality, and gender identity are blurred.
Suddenly, everything is fair game.
But there are those who want to control Kayleigh and her gifts. Overnight, she becomes a target, and surviving the school year means defending herself against cyber-bullies, learning to control her newfound powers, and hiding from the ancient secret society that kidnapped her mother. Morphing has consequences, and Kayleigh begins to realize that being able to change into anything can mean losing herself in the process.
After all, in a world full of morphs, rules are meant to be broken...
