Advanced Chem? Easy. Psychic powers? Gotcha. Save the girl? Uh...
Alex Kosmitoras's life has never been easy. The only other student who will talk to him is the school bully, his parents are dead broke and insanely overprotective, and to complicate matters even more, he's blind. Just when he thinks he'll never have a shot at a normal life, an enticing new girl comes to their small Midwest town all the way from India. Simmi is smart, nice, and actually wants to be friends with Alex. Plus she smells like an Almond Joy bar. Sophomore year might not be so bad after all.
Unfortunately, Alex is in store for another new arrival—an unexpected and often embarrassing ability to "see" the future. Try as he may, Alex is unable to ignore his visions, especially when they suggest Simmi is in mortal danger. With the help of the mysterious psychic next door and friends who come bearing gifts of their own, Alex embarks on his journey to change the future.
Goodreads Summary
Alex is one of those protagonists that a reader will be hard-pressed to forget about. He is blind, but sees the world in different ways. He has visions that can reveal hidden dangers or events to come. Alex is sort of normal, aside from the unusual visions, but everything changes for him when Simmi comes to town. Simmi is the exact type of girl he has always wanted to date. She interests him and gives him a chance at a normal friendship....and maybe something more.
When Alex delves deeper into his visions, he finds that the truth is not always clear. Soon he is having difficulty orienting himself-is the world around him real or fake? Are his visions really coming true? The reader will love this fast-paced plot that will make the book difficult to put down. Alex's character is the true drawing-point, the reader will connect to him with ease. The other characters are interesting and the author connects them to the plot perfectly; they are fun to get to know. This book is recommended to young adult/teen readers.
