THE BOOK
Title: Ultraviolet Catastrophe
Author: Jamie Grey
Release Date: September 24, 2013
Summary: Quantum Electrodynamics. String Theory. Schrödinger's cat.
For sixteen-year-old Lexie Kepler, they’re just confusing terms in her science
textbooks, until she finds out that her parents have been drugging her to
suppress her outrageous IQ. Now Branston
Academy
When the lead scientist on their project turns up as a
popsicle in the cryo chamber, Lexie learns that the “mistake” in the equation
is actually a carefully crafted plan to sabotage Quantum Technologies. And all
signs point to Branston Academy
She takes refuge at Quantum Technologies, a secret
scientific community where her father works as a top-notch scientist, and
begins her new life as “girl genius” at Quantum High. But the assignments at
her new school make the Manhattan Project look like preschool - and Lexie
barely survived freshman algebra.
Her first big
assignment – creating an Einstein-Rosen bridge – is also her first chance to
prove she can hold her own with the rest of QT's prodigies. But while working
with the infuriatingly hot Asher Rosen, QT’s teen wonder, Lexie uncovers a
mistake in their master equation. Instead of a wormhole, the machine they’re
building would produce deadly ultraviolet rays that could destroy the world.
Jamie Grey spent most of her childhood writing stories about
princesses who saved the day and pretending to be a daring explorer. It wasn’t
until much later that she realized she should combine the two. Now, as a
tech-obsessed gamer geek, her novels mix amazing scientific developments,
future worlds, and the remarkable characters that live in them.

A Look in Lexie’s Backpack
Looking at her, Lexie Kepler seems like a typical 16 year old girl. But Lexie is anything but normal. Most of the things she carries you’d find in any teenager’s bag, but she’s got her own geeky spin.
These are the things she never leaves for school without:
First off, she uses a messenger bag that was her Dad’s a
long time ago. It’s retro-cool.
She also always stuffs a hoodie in there, because Quantum
High is always cold. Something about scientific experiments and needing a climate-controlled environment. Whatever the reason, shivering through class isn’t fun.
She also always has hair ties, because there’s nothing
worse than having Hermione hair falling into your eyes during the middle of an
experiment. One wrong move could blow the place up!
Lexie also always has her cellphone (with a T.A.R.D.I.S.
cover – a must for Doctor Who fans), and her tablet for checking email and
doing homework.
Earbuds are also always a must to block out the noise in
the library when she’s doing research. And of course a pair of fingerless
gloves because it gets chilly in there.
Lexie takes most of her notes on her tablet, but
sometimes you just need a piece of paper, so she always has her Albert Einstein
notebook with her.
And last but not least, a tube of pink lip-gloss. Gotta
keep those lips moisturized, just in case a hot genius boy wants to sneak a
kiss.
