Synopsis

Blue DuBois wants the world to leave her alone, but the world has other plans.It's summer, 2011, and for four and a half years, all Blue has been looking for is a normal life after losing her family in a suspicious fire. But what is normal for a fourteen-year-old that can hear what no one else can? And what should she do when she hears something that presents a tantalizing opportunity to avenge her family? With an unexpected new friend and ally, she comes up with a slam-dunk plan. All she has to do is risk everything, including both of their lives.Whether you like coming-of-age or teen thrillers or mystery (and just a touch of paranormal/sci-fi), you will find an enticing blend of all these elements in this first book of a unique YA series set in down-to-earth rural Vermont. With just a touch of maybe-this-could-be-real scientific conjecture as an intriguing element, this is a story more about friendships and those magical bonds created by shared terrifying experiences during a formative time of life. “While stories of teen characters with exceptional abilities are abundant, Martin offers an alluring blend of the paranormal with a more grounded, realistic storyline ...” --The BookLife Prize”This book was totally unexpected. I really enjoyed it. It's a YA thriller with sci-fi elements … very well written.” -- Isabella Wilson, London Book Trio“You will love this book if you are in a reading slump and need a book that is just slightly out of the ordinary …” – Goodreads reviewer"The first half of the book is set up ... the second half of the book is a blur of flipping pages ... I found the character Martin wrote to make the villain oddly fascinating ..." -- Carolina Herdegen, Kiss the BookFrom Amazon and Goodreads reviews:“An engrossing read…”“A very original young adult novel.” “Excellent start to a coming-of-age series.”“Great character development.”“I enjoyed it from beginning to end.”“SciFi–thriller that eventually won me over; sucking me in.”“Can’t wait to see what else Martin cooks up.”
