Gr 6–9—Emily thinks her ability to see the future should be great, but her visions never seem to make sense. Then students from her "gifted" class begin vanishing and she is determined to learn to use her talent and save her friends. Teen issues including fitting in, dealing with low self-esteem, and bullying are subtly woven into the fast-moving plot. Emily and her classmates are realistically drawn characters. Kaye pays special attention to hard-edged Jenna (a mind reader) and soft-spoken Tracey (who can become invisible) as they are Emily's two closest friends. As the girls struggle to deal with their special gifts and navigate the rough waters of middle school, they build an intense bond that will ring true with the intended audience. Even minor characters are given depth through Kaye's descriptive text. With both teen angst and tightly woven supernatural suspense, the book will have readers clamoring for the next volume.—Shari Fesko, Southfield Public Library, MI
