About this ebook
One touch of her hand, and Rae knows everyone’s thoughts.
Her friend Anthony says this is a gift. But for Rae, it feels more like a nightmare. Still, at Anthony’s urging, she puts her powers to the test when their mutual friend goes missing. It appears Jesse has been kidnapped but whatever clues she and Anthony can grasp at yield even greater mysteries. Until Rae follows a lead that reveals one terrifying truth: someone is watching Rae’s every move. Someone who wants her dead.
Praise for Gifted Touch
“[A] fast pace and original premise.” —Publishers Weekly
“This engaging mystery conveys themes of self-discovery and self-acceptance within a classic whodunit framework.” —School Library Journal
