The children of Tigris have extraordinary telekinetic gifts--but are
these special powers a blessing or a curse?
On Tigris, children develop telekinesis beginning at the age of five. By
the time they're pre-teens, though, their special abilities peak, then
slip away as they reach maturity. Being able to "teek" gives them
power--even over most adults--until they gradually become regular
teenagers, no longer special, no longer with authority and status. Some
handle the Transition better than others. Lisa Duncan always thought
she'd mature gracefully, but at age fourteen, and close to losing her
abilities, she's confused and uncertain about what the future will
bring. That is, until she gets drawn into the experimental plan of Dr.
Matthew Jarvis, whose scientific discovery may alter Tigrin society
forever. . . .
