Project Apogee had one mission: to create biologically engineered perfect teenagers. The teenagers were supposed to be
expressions of a perfect genetic mapping of traits, an example of the New Human. But when the teens go before the project
committee, they are found to be utterly normal and unremarkable, a disappointment. Then there’s Alex, the lost teen who failed
years ago, who might just be the most remarkable of them all.

“VERDICT: For the collection looking to build its LGBT titles, this is a book that praises every life as remarkable and worthy.” — School Library Journal
