What's Left of Me (Books From A to Z)

This story sounds like it could be a fun one to read.

Book Summary:  Eva and Addie started out the same way as everyone else—two souls woven together in one body, taking turns controlling their movements as they learned how to walk, how to sing, how to dance. But as they grew, so did the worried whispers. Why aren’t they settling? Why isn’t one of them fading? The doctors ran tests, the neighbors shied away, and their parents begged for more time. Finally Addie was pronounced healthy and Eva was declared gone. Except, she wasn’t…


For the past three years, Eva has clung to the remnants of her life. Only Addie knows she’s still there, trapped inside their body. Then one day, they discover there may be a way for Eva to move again. The risks are unimaginable–hybrids are considered a threat to society, so if they are caught, Addie and Eva will be locked away with the others. And yet…for a chance to smile, to twirl, to speak, Eva will do anything.

About the Author:   Kat Zhang spent most of her childhood traipsing through a world weaved from her favorite stories and games. When she and her best friend weren’t riding magic horses or talking to trees, they were writing adaptations of plays for their stuffed animals (what would The Wizard of Oz have been like if the Cowardly Lion were replaced by a Loquacious Lamb?). This may or may not explain many of Kat’s quirks today.


By the age of eleven, the stories crowding her mind took up far too much room to remain unwritten. They swarmed out onto notebook after notebook—terrible, scrambling stories pieced together from bits of stolen plots. But she improved, and after several false starts, completed her first novel at the age of 17.


That novel will never see the light of day until she takes a chainsaw to it.

Kat is represented by Emmanuelle Morgen of Stonesong. Her book WHAT'S LEFT OF ME--about a girl with two souls--sold to HarperTeen as book one in the Hybrid Trilogy and will be published 9/18/2012. She also performs as a Spoken Word poet and contributes to Pub(lishing) Crawl, a site for readers and aspiring writers to talk books, storytelling craft, and the publishing industry.
