What if we could inherit memories from our parents? What if these deeply embedded memories held the key to solving a string of crimes in New York City? And what if the only ones looking for the right key were a quartet of first year high school students?

Meet Abel Willens. Fourteen years old, precocious, insecure, and the new kid at Peter Cooper High’s Alternative School, aka The A-School. After a rocky start to ninth grade in the big city, Abel is just beginning to find his stride when a series of bank robberies in the neighborhood leads him on an unexpected and potentially dangerous quest to help the girl of his dreams by unlocking heretofore unknown powers of the human brain.

The A-School is a fast-paced, science-based, coming-of-age YA thriller about unlikely friendships, and what happens when the truth may live inside you...whether you’re ready for it or not.
