About this ebook
A New York Times bestselling series
A USA TODAY bestselling series
A California Young Reader Medalāwinning series
In this riveting series opener, a telepathic girl must figure out why she is the key to her brand-new world before the wrong person finds the answer first.
Twelve-year-old Sophie has never quite fit into her life. Sheās skipped multiple grades and doesnāt really connect with the older kids at school, but sheās not comfortable with her family, either. The reason? Sophieās a Telepath, someone who can read minds. No one knows her secretāat least, thatās what she thinksā¦
But the day Sophie meets Fitz, a mysterious (and adorable) boy, she learns sheās not alone. Heās a Telepath too, and it turns out the reason she has never felt at home is that, wellā¦she isnāt. Fitz opens Sophieās eyes to a shocking truth, and she is forced to leave behind her family for a new life in a place that is vastly different from what she has ever known.
But Sophie still has secrets, and theyāre buried deep in her memory for good reason: The answers are dangerous and in high-demand. What is her true identity, and why was she hidden among humans? The truth could mean life or deathāand time is running out.

PLEASE READ THIS REVIEW IT IS SPOILER FREE AND ACCURATE. this book is one me and my bsf have bonded over so much. action packed, tugs on your heart strings in a sAd way, incredibly well written, FUNNY, gives AmAzInG ships (pick one of the many options), and a great one to read the same time as your family or friend(s). I really love it; I am on book 7. HIGHLY recommend. Shannon is SO talented. love the story and characters so much. I leave reviews of each kotlc book.

I am obsessed with this series I've read almost the whole thing twice and I
think I know who Sophie's "dad" is #possible_spoiler_alert(Keefe's father
cause Keefe said how his father was fascinated with Sophie and they both
are able to read her emotions without touching her and Mr.Forkle said that
Sophie and Keefe have a "special" relationship and Sophie naturally feels
protective when Keefe is hurt and doesn't have a crush on him soooo they
are probably step siblings).. I haven't read the last book so my opinion
doesn't matter and I don't even know if she ever finds out who her parents
are but knowing Sophie she will find out
