Keeper of the Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger*

My two nieces love this series!  They even traveled a distance to  meet Ms. Messenger!  Since they have voiced such positive comments about this series, my twelve year old son decided to begin this series.  After reading this first book in the series, he informed me it is now one of his favorite series. 
Sophie Foster can hear the thoughts of everyone around her.  When she meets Fritz who can also read minds, she realizes that there is a place where she belongs.  For her own safety she leaves her family and starts a new life in a new "home".
*Highly recommend by my twelve year old.
