Revelations
From the author of the Roswell High series, a teen who can read the thoughts of others has her own mind invaded by someone who is trying to kill her. Rae isn’t the only one with special powers. And she’s about to be outdone by someone even stronger than she imagined. Just when Rae thought she could go back to being a normal teenager again—well, as normal as a teen who uses touch to read people’s minds can be—she finds herself struggling. And not because of what happened with Anthony, the friend she was falling for, the boy who betrayed her. No, this problem might be worse than her wounded heart. She keeps having these dangerous thoughts about harming herself. Only this time she isn’t reading someone else’s mind. Instead, someone is putting notions into her head. Someone who is desperately trying to kill her . . . Praise for Gifted Touch “[A] fast pace and original premise.” —Publishers Weekly “This engaging mystery conveys themes of self-discovery and self-acceptance within a classic whodunit framework.” —School Library Journal

Also found here are first-person interviews with people who can explain the unexplained, from the permanently puzzling Mothman conspiracy to secret Star Wars Jedi religious cults and the charmingly eccentric reason why British aerospace engineers sent teddy bears floating out into space. These real-world facts are outlandish enough to sharpen the brain and occupy readers’ minds for hours of entertainment.

All the while she survives exorcisms, radical taboos, satanic back-masking on records, muscle men for Jesus, and cool, mulleted youth group leaders.
