The Problem with Prophecies
The Problem with Prophecies | Scott Reintgen
1 post | 2 to read
A sweet yet deeply moving portrait of the highs and lows involved in finding ones place in a wildly unpredictable world. Nic Stone, New York Times bestselling author of Dear Martin A young seers first prophetic vision upends her life and sets her off on a desperate quest to change fate in this contemporary fantasy middle grade novel with heart, humor, and a plot that keeps those pages flying (Carlos Hernandez, award-winning author of the Sal and Gabi series). Most people inherit eye colors or heirlooms, but for Celia Cleary, the gift of prophecy has been passed down in her family for generations. And on the 4,444th day of her life, Celia will have her first vision. But nothing could have prepared her for what she seesthe quiet boy down the street, Jeffrey Johnson, is about to die. Determined to save him despite her grandmothers warnings against it, Celia alters events to stop her vision from playing out. But for each prophecy she avoids, another one takes its place, putting Jeffrey in constant danger. Fate has made its choice, and its not giving up the hunt. Focusing on homework or friends isnt easy when youre going head-to-head with death, and keeping Jeffrey Johnson alive is throwing Celias seventh grade year into chaos. It doesnt help that shes getting to know Jeffrey more and more with each new rescue attempt. It really doesnt help when she realizes she kind of likes him. Will Celias gifts be enough to thwart fate? Or are some things in life inevitable?

“Most people expect seers to live somewhere weird. A creepy house on the corner with roses that never bloom. Some lonely farm with a hunched roof. Anything mysterious.
Which is why people are always surprised by Grammy‘s very suburban townhome.”
