Jade comes down with a fever one day on summer vacation and nearly dies. We are talking out of body experience, traveling down the tunnel to the white light and meeting her granddad. She gets better, but discovers that she can see the future and just knows things about people.
Her parents think she’s crazy and get her medicated. Her grandmother thinks she has the family gift which kips a generation. Her friends and classmates think she’s wierd and avoid her like the plague. Meanwhile, Jade is trying to prevent a series of carbombings that may be a result of the attempt to extradite a Nazi War Criminal.
Carol Matas has created an excellent Sci-Fi story for young adults that weaves elements of anti-semitism, religion and school into the story of how a girl deals with psychic abilities.
Will probably be added to the next After Harry column.
