About this ebook

“There’s something strange about that kid.” At least that’s what everyone says, but they don’t know the truth. Perfect for fans of Stranger Things, this classic novel continues to enthrall.

Katie Welker is used to being alone. She would rather read a book than deal with other people. Other people don’t have silver eyes. Other people can’t make things happen just by thinking about them!

But these special powers make Katie unusual, and it’s hard to make friends when you’re unusual. Katie knows that she’s different but she’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’ll be willing to help her.

Ratings and reviews

I first read this book in the early 80s when I was a tween, it had a big impact on me. Now I have my own kids, I've been waiting until they're ready. Just finished this with them, still holds together very well. There's just enough excitement and thrills to keep them riveted without scaring them, and a valuable lesson that everyone is different and is free to be. My kids liked it so much, they wished there was a sequel.

My all time favorite book from when I was a child. I have not read it in many years, although this is one you couldn't possibly forget.

I already had the book and read it and it was GREAT i loved the ending
