Description
Elsa Webb just wants to make it through her high school years with her dignity intact, but everyone - parents, teachers, basketball team - seems to be against her. She turns to the murky world of perpetual motion phenomena for answers. She starts a perpetual motion club and immerses herself in a strange, new scene filled with dubious characters intent on defying the laws of physics. As she gets caught up in the idea of building a perpetual motion machine, Elsa treads dangerously close to the edge of sanity until salvation comes from the last place she expected it. Told with light humor, The Perpetual Motion Club is for anybody who has ever had an idea.
A Note From the Publisher

Advance Praise
“Sue Lange’s novel The Perpetual Motion Club bears her trademark combination of matter-of-factness and deadpan humor. Realistic YA SF, it shows a plausible near-future and an equally plausible hero: a science-smitten self-motivated very intelligent girl, supported (and thwarted) by an amusing, sharply etched chorus. Old-fashioned in its “can-do” spirit, radical in its refusal to demonize or sanctify, the novel is a perfect candidate for a “Let’s put on a show!” evolved-post-cyberpunk comedy film.” —Athena Andreadis, editor, The Other Half of the Sky
