I have to admit, when I heard of this book I had mixed feelings. Was I going to like it or not, but I loved it. The characters, theme and genre gripped me in the very first chapter. It was almost like Priscilla had invited me into her family and her life.

An element I enjoyed about the book was the way the author thread in normal seventh grade problems that girls would go through (like boys, spots etc) while at the same time still obtaining the problems Priscilla had with her powers.

I also enjoyed the way that in the first couple of chapters you started gettting hints that she wasn't completely normal (and that her family weren't either).
My favourite character is Priscilla because of how brave she is. I also like her because of how opininated she can sometimes be. Another character I also like is her best friend, Tai. She is very smart and helps Priscilla alot through the book.
