A Thousand Pieces Of You by Claudia Gray, 360 pages
Marguerite's father has just been killed by Paul, a boy who she
thought was completely trustworthy. He was one of two grad students who
had been studying with her parents and was practically family. Now he has
left, using the Firebird, a device her parents invented that can be used to
travel to other dimensions. Unfortunately, he has also destroyed all of
her parents' research so that the device can't be duplicated anytime
soon. However, the other student, Theo, has managed to salvage to earlier
prototypes that he has upgraded to be usable. He and Marguerite follow
Paul in an attempt to exact revenge or at least bring him to
justice. Along the way, though, Marguerite may learn some things that
don't agree with the story she believes to be true. There may be more to
the situation than she knows and Paul may not be the villain that she
thinks. This was a great science fiction story. Although a little
bit predictable, it was still well written and I thought it was pretty
compelling. I'm fairly certain there will be a sequel because this
book left a lot of loose ends in the overall story and I will be excited to
read it when it comes out.
