To save his friend, a daring young boy infiltrates a healing center
If it weren't for the migraines, Barry would be an ordinary boy. When a
crushing headaches strikes him during the school day, he goes to the
nurse's office to beg for aspirin. He is waiting for her help when a
chubby-faced six-year-old girl puts her hands on his neck. Heat flows
through them, and when it stops, the headache is gone.
Her name is Pinkie, and she has the power to heal. When her stepfather
uses her ability to found a highly profitable healing center, Barry
fears the gentle little girl is being exploited. On the outside, Barry
is just a scared, sickly teenager. But inside he is Bear--and Bear is
afraid of nothing. To save his friend, he infiltrates the healing
center, where he will find that those who plan to cure the world's ills
also know something about causing pain.
