In this science fiction novel, ten-year old Katie Welker realizes just how different she is from everyone else when neighbors start questioning who she is and why she “does what she does.” Katie has known for years that she has had a special power that other people don’t have – the ability to move things just by looking at and thinking about them. After setting out to find out just who she is and why she has these special powers, Katie discovers that her silver eyes and telekinesis powers are the result of exposure to a chemical or drug from a company her mother worked for when she was pregnant with Katie. Half way through, the discovery was made that there were three other kids who were just like Katie, and she sets out on a quest to find them.This isn't a book I would typically gravitate to or even read. However, I will admit, once I got started with this one, I couldn't put it down!
