In 1997, Carol Matas introduced us to Jade—a fifteen-year-old heroine struggling to adapt to life with an unexpected “gift.” The book became a popular seller, pre-dating our current fascination with all things psychic. In Tales of a Reluctant Psychic, all three titles in Matas’s Freak series are available in one volume.
In The Freak (Book I), Jade wakes up from a serious illness with a new “gift” and struggles to come to terms with what it means. In Visions (Book II), she struggles to put her new powers to good use, helping solve a series of horrible murders in her hometown. And in Far (Book III), Jade and her family travel to Palm Springs, California. Part business trip for her father, and part family vacation, the trip is also an opportunity for Jade to visit a psychic institute. Are her powers for real, and how can she learn to control them?
PRAISE FOR CAROL MATAS
“Matas’s books are always refreshing. She has an open mind and doesn’t opt for easy stereotyping…. Visions is a first-class read from a first-class children’s author….” --Winnipeg Free Press
