Scythe : Monster House Books : 9781946677259 : 1946677256 : 14 Jul 2019 : "OMG, this was absolutely amazing! Meimi is badass, brilliant, and snarky... And the setting! The world described is very dark and technically advanced with super interesting sciency stuff, aliens, and tons of mystery." - Diary of a Wannabe Writer I'm Meimi Archer, your regular high school science geek for hire. Sure, it's dangerous to create high-tech gizmos for a criminal overlord called the Scythe, but it keeps Mom and me safely off-grid. Ever since the Authority took over the United Americas, you either live inside a domed city (where you're watched 24-7) or you scrape by on illegal money while hiding out in the sticks. Guess what category I fall into? Long story short, everything's fine until I screw up a job. Badly. My home slips into two-dimensional space-time. It only lasts for a few seconds, but the move still sets off about a dozen government alarms. If they track me down, Mom and I are good as dead.
