Waiting on Wednesday: Luminous by Dawn Metcalf

Luminous


LUMINOUS BY DAWN METCALF
Hardcover, 304 pages
Published June 30 2011 by Dutton Childrens Books

When sixteen-year-old Consuela discovers she can remove her skin, revealing a lustrous mother-of-pearl skeleton, she slips into a parallel world known as the Flow, a place inhabited by archetypal teens with extraordinary abilities. Crafting skins out of anything – air, water, feathers, fire – she is compelled to save ordinary people from dying before their time. Yet now someone is murdering them, one by one, and Consuela finds herself the focus of an intricate plot to end the Flow forever when all she really wants is to get back home, alive. 

This one sounds so unique--and that cover is AMAZING! It immediately drew me in!
