Publisher's summary

Two sisters come to terms with their extraordinary powers in a new middle-grade fantasy from Supergirl’s Melissa Benoist and her sister, the writer Jessica Benoist, with the New York Times best-selling author Mariko Tamaki

Ellie McFadden has intuitive gifts. She can sense what other living things are feeling. She can even talk to animals! Too bad she can’t connect with her twin sister, Parker. Parker McFadden has kinetic gifts. She can cause shocks to the Earth and produce heat energy that explodes from her body like fire, especially when she is angry. The sisters aren’t aware of the legacy they inherited from their mother until, on their 13th birthday, two mysterious relatives on the Power side whisk them off to an isolated sanctuary called Haven. Ellie immediately adapts to their new routine, but Parker has one impulse: to get back to her normal life of friends and sports, fast.

Unlocking Haven’s secrets is just the beginning of what Ellie and Parker can do if they choose to work together to harness their abilities. But the sinister force that took their mother has other plans, and if the sisters’ fragile relationship succumbs to The Danger, a terrible fate may befall the people they love.

This epic tale of two remarkable girls and the powers they wield is sure to appeal to fans of Chris Colfer, Rick Riordan, and Tui T. Sutherland.

A talented duo

Wonderful imagery and consistent voices pulled me along through this new take on the old Coming of Age story.

Really Good

The story is quite good, two sisters learning not only about their past, but also to trust and support each other again. The twist at the end was unexpected.

Huge fan of Melissa Benoist and the way she and her sister narrated the story was quite original, two sisters=two narrators.

Fantastic performance

I’m obsessed with this one I have been a fan of the actress and her shows so I just adore her portrayal the most. The story was a bit preachy but not terrible. I highly recommend it to everyone who loves this kind of supernatural power stuff

Great start for a new series

A fun and creative story to share with your child. The authors did a nice job reading it themselves and conveyed a real relationship between the sisters. Nice enactment of the other characters and animals. My nine-year-old loved it and mom was entertained as well. I'm glad they created an audio version of an entertaining story with some nice twists. Great start for a new series and we look forward to the audio version of book two.

Delightful and original

With endearing main characters, mysteries around every corner, and dual narrators for the duel POVs, this audiobook was an absolute delight. Highly recommend for MG readers and can’t wait for the next installment.
