Twelve-year-old Sophie has never quite fit into her life. She’s skipped multiple grades and doesn’t really connect with the older kids at school, but she’s not comfortable with her family, either. The reason? Sophie’s a Telepath, someone who can read minds. No one knows her secret—at least, that’s what she thinks…

But the day Sophie meets Fitz, a mysterious (and adorable) boy, she learns she’s not alone. He’s a Telepath too, and it turns out the reason she has never felt at home is that, well…she isn’t. Fitz opens Sophie’s 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 they’re buried deep in her memory for good reason: The answers are dangerous and in high-demand. What is her true identity, and why …

Roman jeunesse génial !

5 étoiles

C'est donc l'histoire d'une enfant de 12 ans qui découvre qu'elle fait partie d'un autre monde extraordinaire et qu'elle doit intégrer une école spéciale.

C'est un roman jeunesse que j'ai dévoré. Je l'ai trouvé bien mieux que l'histoire du célèbre sorcier à lunettes.

Sophie, parachutée dans un nouveau monde, essaie de se faire sa place, mais ce n'est pas si évident pour elle d'oublier là d'où elle vient. Et puis, elle est entourée de tellement de mystères. Des mystères qui sont loin d'être résolus à la fin de ce premier tome. Pas de grand méchant dans cette histoire, mais plutôt des organisations rebelles dont on ne sait pas encore très bien leurs motivations.
