From Val Emmich, the bestselling author of Dear Evan Hansen: The
Novel, comes a deeply affecting story of two teens who find themselves
thrown together overnight during a snowstorm and discover a surprising
connection--perfect for fans of Nina LaCour, David Arnold, and Robin
Benway.
Tegan Everly is quiet. Known around school simply as the girl with the
hand, she's usually only her most outspoken self with her friend Neel,
and right now they're not exactly talking. When Tegan is ambushed by her
mom with a truth she can't face, she flees home in a snowstorm, finding
refuge at a forgotten local attraction--the tiny Thomas Edison museum.
She's not alone for long. In walks Mac Durant. Striking, magnetic, a
gifted athlete, Mac Durant is the classmate adored by all. Tegan can't
stand him. Even his name sounds fake. Except the Mac Durant she thinks
she knows isn't the one before her now--this Mac is rattled and asking
her for help.
Over one unforgettable night spent consuming antique records and
corner-shop provisions, Tegan and Mac cast aside their public personas
and family pressures long enough to forge an unexpectedly charged bond
and--in the very spot in New Jersey that inspired Edison's boldest
creations--totally reinvent themselves. But could Tegan's most shameful
secret destroy what they've built?
Emotionally vivid and endlessly charming, Maybe We're Electric is an
artfully woven meditation on how pain can connect us--we can carry it
alone in darkness or share the burden and watch the world light up
again.
