In a futuristic New York, where almost everyone has the ability to fly, there are a few who are nicknamed leadfeet, doomed to spend their lives closer to the ground. But one night, a girl named Gurl—a leadfoot, an orphan, a nobody—discovers that she can do something much better than fly.

She can become invisible.

Along with a new friend, a boy named Bug, Gurl embarks on a wild quest through the magical city. Their journey takes them all the way to the handsome but lethal Sweetcheeks Grabowski—a gangster who holds the key to Gurl's past and possibly the world's future.

This hilarious, adventure-filled fantasy is a tale of discovery, friendship, and the power of embracing one's unique abilities.
