She has been having strange symptoms for days - she feels dizzy and hears strange voices. After she collapses several times, government people show up at her school and question her. Eventually she is subjected to tests, and then it comes out that she has a special ability that only members of the leading class are supposed to have. She can read minds.
Finally, the president visits her personally and decides that she should go to a special school Sacres, in order to eventually assume a high office. Little by little she finds out how the upper class really relates to the population and what they use their abilities for. Soon she finds herself in great danger.
A gripping dystopian young adult book a la Harry Potter, Divergent or the Hunger Games.
