A woman is dying.

Cleo Porter has her medicine. And no way to deliver it.

Like everyone else, twelve-year-old Cleo and her parents are sealed in an apartment without windows or doors. They never leave. They never get visitors. Their food is dropped off by drones. So they’re safe. Safe from the disease that nearly wiped humans from the earth. Safe from everything. The trade-off?

They’re alone. Thus, when they receive a package clearly meant for someone else—a package containing a substance critical for a stranger’s survival—Cleo is stuck. As a surgeon-in-training, she knows the clock is ticking. But people don’t leave their units.

Not ever.

Until now.

Industry Reviews

Cleo Porter is the most compassionate, intelligent, irrepressible, admirable hero I've come across in years. Readers will flat-out go nuts for her. I know I did. CLEO PORTER AND THE BODY ELECTRIC would be a great book at any time. At this moment in our history, it is astonishing. Every kid - and adult - should read this!"
Gordon Korman, #1 New York Times-bestselling author

Apocalyptic diseases, nefarious drones, hovering skulls, and one nigh-inescapable quarantine bunker young Cleo Porter has her work cut out for her in this thrilling sci-fi adventure!

Praise for Greetings from Witness Protection:

An Autumn 2017 Kids' Indie Next List Selection

Jake Burt is a storytelling magician. Part coming of age tale and part spy thriller, Greetings from Witness Protection could be a collaboration between Judy Blume and Ian Fleming.
Ann M. Martin, New York Times-bestselling author of Rain Reign and the Baby-Sitters Club series

This inventive, clever story has a lot of heart at its center. Jake Burt's debut is utterly rewarding."
Wendy Mass, New York Times-bestselling author of The Candymakers and Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life

The biggest complaint that readers may have about Burt's debut novel is that it ends. . . endearing from page one.
Publishers Weekly, starred review

A delightful, sometimes touching balance of action, humor, and heart.
