âA sweet yet deeply moving portrait of the highs and lows involved in finding oneâs place in a wildly unpredictable world.â âNic Stone, New York Times bestselling author of Dear Martin
A young seerâs 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 âheart, humor, and a plot that keeps those pages flyingâ (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 seesâthe quiet boy down the street, Jeffrey Johnson, is about to die.
Determined to save him despite her grandmotherâs 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 itâs not giving up the hunt.
Focusing on homework or friends isnât easy when youâre going head-to-head with deathâand keeping Jeffrey Johnson alive is throwing Celiaâs seventh grade year into chaos. It doesnât help that sheâs getting to know Jeffrey more and more with each new rescue attempt. It really doesnât help when she realizes she kind of likes him.
Will Celiaâs gifts be enough to thwart fate? Or are some things in life inevitable?
