โA sweet yet deeply moving portrait of the highs and lows involved in finding oneโs place in a wildly unpredictable world.โ โNic Stone, New York Times bestselling author of Dear Martin
A young seerโs 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 โheart, humor, and a plot that keeps those pages flyingโ (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 seesโthe quiet boy down the street, Jeffrey Johnson, is about to die.
Determined to save him despite her grandmotherโs 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 itโs not giving up the hunt.
Focusing on homework or friends isnโt easy when youโre going head-to-head with deathโand keeping Jeffrey Johnson alive is throwing Celiaโs seventh grade year into chaos. It doesnโt help that sheโs getting to know Jeffrey more and more with each new rescue attempt. It really doesnโt help when she realizes she kind of likes him.
Will Celiaโs gifts be enough to thwart fate? Or are some things in life inevitable?
