Overview

"A sweet yet deeply moving portrait of the highs and lows involved in finding one's place in a wildly unpredictable world." --Nic Stone, New York Times bestselling author of Dear Martin

A young seer's 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 "heart, humor, and a plot that keeps those pages flying" (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 sees--the quiet boy down the street, Jeffrey Johnson, is about to die.

Determined to save him despite her grandmother's 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 it's not giving up the hunt.

Focusing on homework or friends isn't easy when you're going head-to-head with death--and keeping Jeffrey Johnson alive is throwing Celia's seventh grade year into chaos. It doesn't help that she's getting to know Jeffrey more and more with each new rescue attempt. It really doesn't help when she realizes she kind of likes him.

Will Celia's gifts be enough to thwart fate? Or are some things in life inevitable?
