Product Description
Jade is having nightmares. It`s been a few months since the episode at the synagogue--a few months since she discovered her strange new "powers"--and she`s pretty sure that a dream is no longer just a dream. Especially these dreams. How else do you explain seeing someone in your sleep who ends up on the front page of the morning paper--the victim of a murder? And what happens when one of the intended victims turns out to be someone a little too close to home? This time, Jade is more than willing to use her abilities to solve the murder. But will she figure it out in time?

The Freak II: Visions, and book one of the Freak Series, Sep 23 2008
By Jewish Book World Magazine - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Visions (Paperback)
In Book One, after an accident, Jade discovers that she has psychic abilities. As a typical teenager, being able to see the future presents all kinds of difficulties. Although the author captures the right tone and voice for this teen novel, the plot is predictable. The Judaic content is contained in one of the main plot points when Jade foils an anti-Semitic classmate's attempt to bomb the synagogue on Yom Kippur. Jade is aided by her "Baba," a stock Jewish grandmother, who believes in her psychic power. The love interest is supplied by a handsome (of course!) East Indian Hindu who is a twelfth grader.In Book Two, Jade risks losing her best friend because of her strange behavior. She has dreams warning her of attacks on women and of a dark cloud around her friend Susie. She decides to tell her friend the truth about her abilities, and she solves the mystery through her psychic powers and a communication with her dead grandfather.These books are like junk food; the fast pace and dangerous situations will appeal to teen readers, but the books, like junk food, will not be memorable. Grades 6-9. Reviewed by Susan Dubin
