Gifted: Better Late Than Never by Marilyn Kaye
Goth girl Jenna Kelley has the ultimate tool to stage a teenage rebellion: she can read people's minds without even trying. When her alcoholic mother is hospitalized, a stranger shows up who says he's her long-lost dad and promises a better future. Too good to be true? Her gifted classmates think so, but Jenna is so determined to have a real parent around and a somewhat normal life that she might have lost her ability to listen.
Comment
Add a CommentThe heart-breaking truth that this book uncovers, in it's very simple writing style, is that everyone wants to be loved and treasured by their parents. Too bad it was a all just a mind game - but most of us know that from the very beginning. Happy endings are only the name of the game in this book if you count the support of friends.
