Metal Mouth: Lightning Can Strike Twice
About this ebook
A story that will make you believe in love, fate, and maybe even magic.
For fans of "The Fault in Our Stars" meets "Ready Player One"
Mahlorie hates her braces. And who cares what she looks like anyway? Her dad, a travelling magician, and mom, a famous romance author, constantly harp on the importance of appearance, something her best friend Shai sure understands. But when Mal has a near-death experience and can suddenly hear a boy’s voice in her head, life takes a turn for the weird. He can hear her too. How did her braces become transmitters? And who is this boy she just might be falling in love with?
This magical coming-of-age tale of mystery and self-discovery, and love and friendship, makes the impossible become all too real...
