Mindburst

Twelve-year-old mindreader and timebender Alex Delaney has been locked away in Saint Markus Asylum for Children for the past eleven years. With nothing of her family but a note from her mother and brief visits with her future-seeing little sister, Alex wants nothing more than to know her parents personally.

So when Greg, her best friend who can walk through walls, and Foster, a mindcontroller looking to avenge his parents’ murder, ask Alex to help them escape, she agrees. Aided by tagalong and telekinetic Red, a goof-off with heart, she sets off to find her family.

Thrust into a town that hates mindwielders, Alex quickly discovers that being different—being a freak—forces her to choose between the dream of the family she doesn’t know and the lives of her friends. Along the way, Alex uncovers a plot to eliminate mindwielders from the town of Pensilton forever. And her little sister is the key to it all.
