The Gravity-Defiant’s Handbook

Bell has an ordinary life—school, homework, annoying cousins, and a grandmother who always seems to know more than she says. Then one morning, Bell discovers something impossible: she is 10% lighter every day. Soon she is floating above her bed, drifting through school corridors, and realizing that if the mysterious condition continues, she may eventually escape the pull of Earth altogether.

With her fearless friend Mira and mischievous cousin Jojo beside her, Bell discovers an old handbook belonging to her long-lost great-grandfather, who suffered the exact same strange condition. The clues lead them beneath the city into the mysterious Low Place, where gravity has been twisted and forgotten objects drift through endless darkness. To return home, Bell must uncover her family’s unfinished secret—and discover that the strongest force keeping us grounded isn’t gravity at all, but the people and memories we choose to hold onto.
