This sixth entry in The Shapeshifter series follows a world where COLAs—Children of Limitless Ability—attend a school that can feel like a safe haven or a prison.

Sparkes blends high-octane action with heart and clever science fantasy, delivering a page-turner for middle-grade readers.

About the Books:

The story tracks loyalty, risk, and the stubborn courage that COLAs summon when their autonomy is threatened. Sparkes pairs fast-paced action with character warmth, witty banter, and a sense of wonder at what it means to belong. The 272-page paperback sustains momentum, while the quieter moments deepen friendship and family ties, inviting re-readings.
