Trying to figure out how to co-exist with the whole world, maximize their newly discovered powers and stop infighting among themselves. Worse yet, the elders are adding to internal stress. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBeing an outcast had been the norm for Agatha 'Aggie' McArthur since well before middle school. By the time puberty and all its nasty side effects hit, she was a pro at guarding herself from hurtful words and more. Discovering she had the ability to shield wasn't a great leap for the guarded teen. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHaving an ability doesn't mean mastering it. Especially when it means allowing yourself to admit you are special and powerful. The inconsistent shield, useless more times than not, failed and led to the kidnapping of one of their own. With a home now mobilized, the citizens of the makeshift Satori are not only on guard, but searching for their lost friend. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith an unknown elder, Imani, appearing, Aggie will have a teacher if she can allow herself to trust. But will the trust be worth the danger her life is placed in? And can she find the strength to protect the community, or will her shield leave her friends on the outside looking in?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michel Prince\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1955784353\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781955784351\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fire \u0026amp; Ice Young Adult Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.52d","brand":"Michel Prince","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486511378687,"sku":"9781955784351","price":13.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_257b17a8-1289-435a-842f-cadaeb1b6403.jpg?v=1778055755","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-shield-michel-prince-9781955784351","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
