One day they were just there, hidden all over the earth like huge gemstones. Burn a pair and they make you a little better: an inch taller, skilled at math, better-looking. The rarer the sphere, the greater the improvement--and the more expensive the sphere. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Sully is a sphere dealer at a flea market. It doesn't pay much--Alex Holliday's stores have muscled out most of the independent sellers--but it helps him and his mom make the rent. When Sully meets Hunter, a girl with a natural talent for finding spheres, the two start searching together. One day they find a Gold--a color no one has ever seen. There's no question the Gold is priceless, but what does it actually do? None of them is aware of it yet, but the fate of the world rests on this little golden orb. Because all the world fights over the spheres, but no one knows where they come from, what their powers are, or why they're here. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eChosen as a 2017 Quick Pick for Reluctant Young Adult Readers\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"\u003ci\u003eBurning Midnight\u003c\/i\u003e is for (1) adrenaline junkies and gamers, (2) obsessive collectors, and (3) people who can't get enough of crazy endings.
