Joy Nash’s energetic narration matches the fast speech and upbeat personality of this audiobook’s unusual heroine, Faith. Nash shows her understanding of the characters and relationships in this story of an atypical teen. At first, Faith seems like an average high school senior. But what doesn’t show are her mind-based abilities to fly and to manipulate force fields. When she uncovers a devious plot, Nash captures her skillful sleuthing ability as well. And when her beloved grandmother decides to move to assisted living because her Alzheimer’s is worsening, Nash depicts Faith’s empathy. The many moods of this story require a continually shifting tone, which Nash delivers. S.W. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine

As Faith tries to balance her quest for a memorable senior year and the heartbreak of Grandma Lou's increasing decline, she learns to have faith in herself-and that sometimes fate will point you in the right direction.
