Dragons Walk Among Us by Dan Rice

A fun story with some seriously interesting ideas. Allison is a teenage girl suffering through high school and bullying. Despite the not-so-great moments she endures in school, I believe her life is pretty awesome. She has a wonderful dad, two loyal friends, and a talent for photography that's highly recognized. Remove the fact her mother abandoned her at birth, the nasty popular girl who torments her, and Allison's hopeless crush on the cute boy who only sees her as a friend, and life is actually smiling at her.
Then she's attacked and loses her vision. Welp. That was pretty awful. But here comes Dad to the rescue with his super-sciency friends and experimental procedures that restore the gift of sight again, and with a kick!
It's not long until she's back in school with perfect eyesight (including night vision and integrated zoom), she's now kind of popular because she's an awesome cyborg, and things get pretty exciting when she sees her first dragon walking around people.
The thing is, I was happy with this plot. I needed no more.
But it turned out this was only half the story and not even a third of the crazy revelations.
I'll stop before I spoil. Go read the book. Cool stuff ahead.
