There lived a girl named Petra Peña, who wanted nothing more than to be a storyteller, like her abuelita. But Petra's world is ending. Earth has been destroyed by a comet, and only a few hundred scientists and their children - among them Petra and her family - have been chosen to journey to a new planet. They are the ones who must carry on the human race. Hundreds of years later, Petra wakes to this new planet - and the discovery that she is the only person who remembers Earth. A sinister Collective has taken over the ship during its journey.

For over 400 years, the world has been a barren wasteland.

The city does not take kindly to Cascabeles like them—the descendants of those who worked the San Joaquin Valley for generations.

Lupe Wong quiere ser la primera lanzadora femenina en las Grandes Ligas. Durante toda su infancia, ha defendido causas.

Lupe needs an A in all her classes in order to meet her favorite pitcher, Fu Li Hernandez, who's Chinacan/Mexinese just like her. So when the horror that is square dancing rears its head in gym? Obviously she's not gonna let that slide.
