Publisher's Synopsis
When you're fourteen, it's hard enough fitting in under normal circumstances, but try it when wings are sprouting out of your back, or gills are growing on your neck. Or what about when you suddenly grow razor black Darkling beetle mandibles? And what about that green reptilian tail slicing right through your Levis? The one pair that you just perfectly broke in!
Well when you're part of "Project Evo" this is all part of your new life, like it or not. It's a life you didn't expect and initially may find hard to adjust to, but at the same time, it's something you know has always been deep inside of you, that's always been a part of your DNA.
So when four teens suddenly discover what they really are, it will provide the answer to some mysterious questions they've been dealing with for as long as they can remember.
For Junko, it's the fact that she's never understood why she's felt more at ease perched on the ledge fifty stories up on a Sydney high rise than she ever did with her feet planted firmly on terra firma.
For Wil, he's often wondered why when other boys his age thought it was cool to fry insects under a magnifying glass, he'd rescue them? Often getting beat up as a result, but taking solace in the fact these creepy crawlers were safe and could now roam all over him, head to toe
Then there's Raquel, or Rockie for short. While her contemporaries fought "bath time" or were forced by their parents to take showers, she'd always do anything to stay in the water for hours, even missing a play date with a best friend.
And as for Kai, what's up with that tongue of his? When his buddies were content to just use it to stick out at their enemies, he saw it as a valuable appendage. And the somewhat
unsightly rough skin around his knees and elbows? Why's it always been a source of pride to him even when every girl he knows thinks it's gross?
Lots of questions, and now finally some answers. That's because these four teens will transform and evolve in ways that no one has ever done before, as they tap into their DNA, and for the first time fully understand what has made them so unique.
Brought together, they'll form a fighting force unlike any other in the world, going up against enemies that are always changing, always pushing them to their physical and mental limits, becoming more and more determined to destroy everything in their path and send Earth spiraling into "de-evolution."
