Belongs to SeriesSheena Meyer (1)
This story is a captivating blend of science fiction, fantasy, and mystery. For 11-13-year-old readers that enjoy books such as "A Wrinkle In Time." "What am I?" Sheena Meyer is the girl that brings an extra sandwich to school each day just in case someone doesn't have lunch. She's also the girl that questions and investigates everything, driving her parents and teachers nuts. She spends most days waiting for some grand event to happen and change her life. But this isn't what she had in mind. The Murk is coming for her because of a gift she doesn't know she has. Nine years ago an angel appeared in front of select kids all over the world. In Michigan, it appeared in a willow tree in front of a four-year-old little girl. She's the only child that saw it, the one with the gift. Sheena is now thirteen and has since forgotten what she saw. But things change when her father is in a terrible accident, and she witnesses a supernatural being save him. 'I saw what you did. Come back!' An elderly man, the arrival of a peculiar new kid at school, and mysterious text messages will change everything Sheena has ever believed in, sweeping her out of a humdrum, teenage existence, and setting in motion what one little girl's destiny can mean to the world.

1. This book was 100% not for me. I didn't connect with it and I struggled right through to the very end. It wasn't a bad book, but wasn't the kind of book I connected with.
2. The story didn't give enough explanation for me to care. I'm the kind of reader who likes to understand the plot and not have a cliffhanger making me ask for more. This book didn't match my preferences. A lot is not explained and we're led to believe the rest of the series will have the answers.
3. Our lead is "not normal." She sees angels but we're not given too much about it. The plot jumps around a bit which makes the book hard to follow. The idea is great, but the follow through didn't work for me.
4. Angels send text messages now?
Overall, this book was not a home run for me. It needed some more time in the development stage so the book could stand alone as a story that drew enough interest for me to enjoy it.
One out of five stars. (
