A New York Times bestselling series A USA TODAY bestselling series A California Young Reader Medal–winning series In this riveting series opener, a telepathic girl must figure out why she is the key to her brand-new world before the wrong person finds the answer first.Twelve-year-old Sophie has never quite fit into her life. She’s skipped multiple grades and doesn’t really connect with the older kids at school, but she’s not comfortable with her family, either. The reason? Sophie’s a Telepath, someone who can read minds. No one knows her secret—at least, that’s what she thinks… But the day Sophie meets Fitz, a mysterious (and adorable) boy, she learns she’s not alone. He’s a Telepath too, and it turns out the reason she has never felt at home is that, well…she isn’t. Fitz opens Sophie’s eyes to a shocking truth, and she is forced to leave behind her family for a new life in a place that is vastly different from what she has ever known. But Sophie still has secrets, and they’re buried deep in her memory for good reason: The answers are dangerous and in high-demand. What is her true identity, and why was she hidden among humans? The truth could mean life or death—and time is running out.

"I started this a little while back. I'm honestly just not feeling it. I can't point to anything specific that's wrong with it. It seems like a fine book. It's just not for me, I think. "

"DNF <br/><br/>I could not STAND the MC's habit of plucking out her eyelashes. It's disgusting. The author decided that that specific habit would be the MC's in this entire epic, according to a few friends who read it and love it. I keep hearing good things about this but I dunno. I'll have to try it again and see if I get any farther. I do love the cover tho!"

"While this book Would be nearly nothing without the rest of the series, it will always be one of my favorite books of all time. The plot is good, the characters are great (Cept for Sophie, she gives me anxous Harry potter vibes), and in my opinion it should live right up there with Percy Jackson and Harry Potter."

"My favorite book or books are the keeper of the lost cities series. I read this in middle school, but a few adults in my family have read it and loved it, proving that it can be read and enjoyed by anyone, despite their age. It's a beautiful coming of age story about a girl who gets her world flipped upside down. She meets people who quickly become her found family, and she embarks on an adventure of danger, mystery, and action. Together with her group of friends, she solves the biggest question: “What am I?”"
