Description
When Kristina's epilepsy doctor told her she had "wild brainwaves," he didn't mention she might become clairvoyant, learn to read people's minds or travel to other planes of existence; the boy who sat across from her in homeroom had to tell her. Nicholas and Kristina mingle reality with a mystical world that, by their own accounts, anyone could tap into if they knew how. It departs from the fantasy genre in that the characters have a foot in two worlds (or more) and make the paranormal seem normal as they are drawn deeper into occult exploration, usually returning in time for 1st period class. As crossover literature intended as much for adult enjoyment as it is for the middle-grade to young adult reader, it may be recognized as a modern retelling of Shakespeare's, The Tempest, with "Prospero" represented as a 12-year-old girl abandoned in an international school in remote Uzbekistan, discovering Nicholas as her lighter-than-air "Ariel."
