I was blown away by this book. Simple, everyday living by a local parapalegic, living in my own neighborhood. It is told with honesty, dignity and self deprecating humor.
Everyone knows everyone else in the small
secluded town Maya lives in. It's a blessing and a curse. But, to Maya,
it started to feel a little less safe and a little stranger than usual
after her friend Serena drowns in the middle of a lake - particularly as
she was the captain of the swim team. This haunts Maya, mainly as she
thinks she might have felt hands in the water. Then a reporter shows up
asking about Serena. On top of this, there are more and more mountain
lions seen in the town. Her friend Daniel senses things about people
that he can't explain. And she's more interested than she'd like to be
in the new student, Rafe, whose reputation precedes him. What is
happening in this town? Can she uncover its secrets? Does her birth mark
mean anything? Maya is determined to find out.
This
action-filled adventure is set in the same world as the Darkest Powers
trilogy and leaves us with many, many questions and a need to know more
about this second Edison Group experiment. --Angela M.
