Description
Ollie is hypersensitive to electricity, constantly at risk of sending out electromagnetic pulses that cause massive power outages.
Moritz has an electric heart that keeps him alive.
They are best friends.
Ollie and Moritz might never meet, but they can write letters, telling each other about their lives: one boy is off on his first ever road trip and the other is looking for a school where someone different might just fit in.
As their worlds widen, they meet other teenagers living complicated lives with incredible powers. But these new friends are in danger, and the only person who can save them is gone: Moritz's mother.
Finding her won't be easy, but just by existing Moritz and Ollie prove anything is possible . . .

Reviews
-
Unforgettable and distinct voices . . . A fantastic novel that will be especially resonant for readers who struggle with being or feeling outside of 'normal.'
starred review, Booklist
-
This brilliant follow-up to a clever and unexpected novel does exactly what it should in keeping the same epistolary format but taking these two unforgettable characters way out of their comfort zones and toward lives that are lived rather than waited out, and the result is powerful stuff indeed.
starred review, BCCB
-
Ollie and Moritz continue to be compelling characters, struggling to figure out how to use their talents while living within their limitations. In many ways, they are no different than most teens, just a few steps further along the continuum.

Part mad science, part convincing portrayal of the volatile, resilient nature of friendship and grief--and that, as Ollie says, is not science fiction.
Kirkus Reviews
-
The strength of the tale lies in the unique bond between Ollie and Moritz, both of whom are forced to confront their limitations and face their fears about their relative places in the world . . . Fans of the first volume will likely enjoy reading this new chapter in Ollie's and Moritz's lives.
School Library Journal

The pacing is impeccable, as letters move from sunniness (Oliver) and bemused distance (Moritz) to both writers exploring their darkest fears, experiences, and worries for their futures.
