Summary
YA. Fantasy fiction. Science fiction. The first book in a page-turning, pulse-pounding new YA series. Sixteen-year-old Wylie has recently lost her mother in a terrible car accident - and now feels as if she's losing her mind, too. Her therapist tells her that she will feel better in time - but Wylie has always been anxious and experienced heightened emotions - and she hasn't been able to leave the house for weeks. Her scientist father despairs, and her twin brother seemingly couldn't care less. Is her tenuous grip on a normal life over for good? When her best friend Cassie disappears and texts Wylie asking for urgent help, Wylie must join forces with Cassie's wayward boyfriend Jasper and set off on a mission to track her down. Their search leads them to a rundown camp deep in the woods of Maine, where Wylie will discover that her father has been keeping a huge secret from her - she is an off-the-chart Outlier, displaying a ferocious degree of Emotional Intelligence (mind-reading) that means she would be the prized study subject of some very shady groups. Wylie can't trust ANYONE - and can she even rely on herself?13 yrs+
