Alexandra Benno has a unique gift: she can instantly summon parallel-dimension versions of herself. But these duplicates are always super-idealized: smart, fast, tough, and often the most beautiful girls in their world--while Alex herself is a clumsy teen with the figure of a twelve-year-old boy! And to make matters worse, the government recruits her for top-secret espionage work--but Alex's idealized version always gets the action and, consequently, receives all the credit! Will Alex ever be able to step out from her own shadow?This is Alex Unlimited, the latest book in the Pop Fiction series from TOKYOPOP. Created by Dan Jolley, Alex Unlimited is the story of 18 year-old Alex Benno - just your average teenage girl but with one exception - she can summon different versions of herself to solve just about any problem!
But unlike the original Alex who's clumsy and awkward, her alternate versions are older, smarter, faster and prettier than Alex ever dreamed she'd be. In fact, her doubles are so incredible that the US Government recruits them to help fight a terrorist group called SKAR. So while Alex is the reason these incredible alternates are here, its her doubles that get all the credit.
Until now.
When Alex is faced with the task of rescuing one of her alternates, she finds herself in the middle of an evil underworld and a nasty plot to invade the very dimensions she's been accessing herself!
Orginally created to be a shonen manga, the story developed into a full novel with the girls in mind. If you love shojo, this is definitely a book you're going to love!
Alex Unlimited hit your favorite book stores on May 8th, but if you'd like a sneak peek first, check it out on TOKYOPOP's online player.
