The Girl with the Silver Eyes

Katie Welker is used to being alone. She would rather read a book than deal with other people. Other people don#x19;t have silver eyes. Other people can#x19;t make things happen just by thinking about them! But these special powers make Katie unusual, and it#x19;s hard to make friends when you#x19;re unusual. Katie knows that she#x19;s different but she#x19;s never done anything to hurt anyone so why is everyone afraid of her? Maybe there are other kids out there who have the same silver eyes . . . and the same talents . . . and maybe they#x19;ll be willing to help her.
