"This cozy story weaves Christian themes of faith and friendship into a slow-burn mystery with spots of humor and drama. Everts develops the large, racially diverse cast of characters through strong dialogue that propels the plot." — Kirkus Reviews "This earnest caper by Everts imagines a world in which adolescent hormones trigger not just emotional overdrive but empathic superpowers....Everts demonstrates how people can grow emotionally and spiritually through hardship, and delves into the affirming power of friendship and belonging." — Publishers Weekly What if you could see things no one else could? Meet Oscar, a new kid navigating life in a new town, at a new school, with no friends to lean on. Just as he's decided to shuffle his way through freshman year and settle for lonely lunches on the football bleachers, something extraordinary happens—Oscar begins to see glowing orbs that no one else can see. Confused and curious, he soon discovers he's not the only one at his school with a mysterious power. When chaos disrupts Centerville High, Oscar finds himself in the middle of an eclectic group of kids who all want answers...and are eager to take action!

No longer alone, Oscar discovers that those orbs he's been seeing might just be put to good use. Join Oscar as he untangles his own mysteries of friendship and faith, and learns that overcoming his deepest fears will require tapping into a Power greater than his own.
