Mira has almost always had it all...until it all crashes and burns. She's hurt in a horrible car accident, and the only way the doctors can help is to try experimental prosthetics and chips that are implanted directly into her brain. It's a huge risk, but after months of testing and therapy Mira is back and better than ever. But soon her friends turn against her as their parents call her on unfair advantages and get her cut from lacrosse and the scholarships she was depending on for college.

Three weeks after being captured by a league of madmen known as the Jackets, I can no longer remember the person I used to be. They say my name is Ari, that I'm a bionic assassin with powerful abilities. I work for the people who created me. I kill for them, warding off the alien-like beasts that fall from the sky and roam the desert hills, feeding on unfortunate victims. Killing is the purpose and mission for all bionics, but I'm not compliant. I can't be controlled, and my memories are returning with every new day.

Once again blending multiple story strands that transcend time and place, Grasshopper Jungle author Andrew Smith tells the story of 15-year-old Ariel, a refugee from the Middle East who is the sole survivor of an attack on his small village. Now living with an adoptive family in Sunday, West Virginia, Ariel's story of his summer at a boys' camp for tech detox is juxtaposed against those of a schizophrenic bomber and the diaries of a failed arctic expedition from the late 19th century.
