In this young-adult novel, Dawson’s weaves a captivating coming-of-age story focused on the main character, Georgie, discovering and coming to terms with her meta-normal powers. Wildly entertaining, the story mixes real-life situations such as bullying and developing friendships with the complexity of dealing with emerging meta-normal powers. Life situations accelerate the “growing up” Georgie and her friends face, and they are fortunate to have the understanding and support of amazing adults and teachers. Bullying, kid-napping, espionage, meta-normal powers…you won’t want to stop listening until that last word is spoken!

An early reader of the print novel, I came to know the cast of characters in a whole new way through the voice of Hickman. I want to sit down for a meal with the whole crew!
