Middlereader Stories

(Book 1 of The Globe of Tarahabi series) Once a year in Mencia, every thirteen-year-old has a chance to gain a talent. You could have the power to fly, or to become invisible. You might be telepathic, or telekinetic. There's such a wide variety. But there is a catch: if you are Untalented, you are exiled from Mencia. On the day of her Talent Gaining, Lexa is given an old family heirloom - a beautiful blue necklace - as a present from her proud mother. Only when disaster strikes does Lexa realize that the necklace contains more power than she could have ever imagined. . . and could very well have enough to save many lives. But is it already too late?
