Sophie Foster, who is twelve, has a secret. She is a telepath, which means that she can hear what others are thinking around her. She's never understood how to describe this skill.
The day she meets Fitz—a strange youngster who emerges out of nowhere and has the ability to read minds—everything changes. She learns that there is a place where she really belongs and that continuing to live with her family would put her in serious danger. Sophie is compelled to abruptly leave everything behind and begin a new life in a location that is radically unlike from everything she has ever known.
Sophie has to acquire new abilities and regulations, and not everyone is happy that she has returned "home."
Some individuals fervently want the secrets that Sophie has buried deep in her memory—secrets about who she truly is and the reason she was kept concealed among humans. Would murder for, even.
Shannon Messenger spins a gripping tale in her page-turning first novel, where a little girl must discover why she holds the key to a whole new universe before someone else does.
