Gr 8 Up—Claire is a 20-something young woman with a nose for news. Her incredible instincts have helped her to become a successful reporter, oftentimes arriving for a scoop before the police. On her way to a dinner date, she senses a major story and is sidetracked. A young girl named Amber has gone missing in the woods. When Claire arrives at the search-and-rescue headquarters, she has a psychic vision of where Amber has been taken. When the squad refuses her help based on "visions," Claire must do whatever it takes to make sure that Amber gets home safe. She is a relatable character, and her psychic ability grows at just the right pace for a short series opener. For new adult readers who prefer hi-lo books and reluctant or struggling teen readers.—Patrick Tierney, Dr. Martin Luther King Elementary School RI
