Overview

They promised him trophies. They never warned him what he'd lose to stay on top. Thirteen-year-old Jacob Shea scrubs dojo floors while his mother works herself to exhaustion just to keep them fed. When a fallen martial arts master offers him a chance at greatness, Jacob swallows his doubts-and a nanite that changes everything. Faster. Stronger. Sharper. For the first time, the world sees him. But glory comes with a cost. Each victory feeds the greed of his mentor and drags Jacob further from the boy his mother raised. By seventeen, his body is breaking down, his future crumbling, and the regime that created the nanites has begun rounding up those who resist. When soldiers tear his mother away, Jacob's power is no longer a gift-it's all he has left. In a world obsessed with perfection, how far will one boy go to prove his humanity? If you loved Divergent, The Hunger Games, or Maze Runner, you'll love Jacob Shea, an Unadjusteds origin novella by award-wining author, Marisa Noelle.
