About the Book

Zion had everything a teenage boy could want- or so it seems. He is tall, good-looking, great at sports, and has a solid family. A run-in with the high school bully changes his life forever, calling into question everything he thought he knew about his family, his friends, and even his own health.

Zion has dedicated himself to fitness-turns out, his mom was right, and he did lose all the extra weight he had when he was younger. He credits this to his extensive martial arts training, extra basketball practice, and weight training. Unfortunately, there is a much more sinister reason for his weight loss. When he stands up to a bully and gets a bloody nose, he doesn't think much of it. That is until his nose won't stop bleeding, and he wakes up from a coma. It turns out Zion has diabetes. He is suddenly thrown in a world of needles (which make him pass out), blood sugar checks, diabetic comas, and the chance of losing his eyesight. His family, as always, is there for him - especially his pain-in-the-butt kid sister Alex. It turns out her being a know-it-all is a good thing. Knowing his fear of needles, Alex comes up with a treatment for him that won't involve daily shots. Maybe he should stop picking on her after all.

What Alex didn't research is when she creates Zion's treatment was the effect it would have when mixed with his very unusual blood. Diabetes becomes one of Zion's smallest concerns as he and his sister are sucked into a whirlwind of family secrets, government cover-ups, and unforeseen side effects of the treatment Alex created. These two siblings join forces to save the world and forge unbreakable friendships.
