"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 Martin
A 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).
Most people inherit eye colors or heirlooms, but for Celia Cleary, the
gift of prophecy has been passed down in her family for generations. And
on the 4,444th day of her life, Celia will have her first vision. But
nothing could have prepared her for what she sees--the quiet boy down
the street, Jeffrey Johnson, is about to die.
Determined to save him despite her grandmother's warnings against it,
Celia alters events to stop her vision from playing out. But for each
prophecy she avoids, another one takes its place, putting Jeffrey in
constant danger. Fate has made its choice, and it's not giving up the
hunt.
Focusing 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. It doesn't help that she's
getting to know Jeffrey more and more with each new rescue attempt. It
really doesn't help when she realizes she kind of likes him.
Will Celia's gifts be enough to thwart fate? Or are some things in life
inevitable?
