I am a huge Scott Reintgen fan - I still push his NYXIA series on anyone who likes space stories, YA, and 'to the bitter end' competitions like HUNGER GAMES. Will Celia’s gifts be enough to thwart fate? Or are some things in life inevitable? It really doesn’t help when she realizes she kind of likes him. It doesn’t help that she’s getting to know Jeffrey more and more with each new rescue attempt. Fate has made its choice, and it’s not giving up the hunt.įocusing on homework or friends isn’t easy when you’re going head-to-head with death-and keeping Jeffrey Johnson alive is throwing Celia’s seventh grade year into chaos. But for each prophecy she avoids, another one takes its place, putting Jeffrey in constant danger. But nothing could have prepared her for what she sees-the quiet boy down the street, Jeffrey Johnson, is about to die.ĭetermined to save him despite her grandmother’s warnings against it, Celia alters events to stop her vision from playing out. And on the 4,444th day of her life, Celia will have her first vision. Most people inherit eye colors or heirlooms, but for Celia Cleary, the gift of prophecy has been passed down in her family for generations.

“A sweet yet deeply moving portrait of the highs and lows involved in finding one’s place in a wildly unpredictable world.” -Nic Stone, New York Times bestselling author of Dear MartinĪ young seer’s first prophetic vision upends her life and sets her off on a desperate quest to change fate in this contemporary fantasy middle grade novel with “heart, humor, and a plot that keeps those pages flying” (Carlos Hernandez, award-winning author of the Sal and Gabi series).
