High school is rough, and making friends is hard enough without also being an interplanetary refugee. Maida Kilwa was born on Mars. Life was peaceful and happy until invaders from the twin moons Phobos and Deimos attacked her homeworld. She lost her dad, and her cousin, and her brother was kidnapped. At a young age she was compelled to flee to Earth with her aunt in search of a better life. On Earth she found a society rigidly divided by class, gender, and religion, where Martians are âfugeesâ and must survive on the charity of others. Maida does her best to fit in and find a clique of allies at school. She also discovers a group of young, self-proclaimed revolutionaries who arenât satisfied with Earthâs status quo and plan to do something about it. A crisis is coming and change is on the wind.
