Laurel is starting highschool in a new town, and although she's smart enough not to talk about her telekinetic ability, she can't resist using it sometimes.

Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)

Pro: The different characters are very well developed. The different powers, the secret club, even the investigation all work very well. The narration and dialogue both seem clean and natural.

Con: There's no proper ending to the story. It just stops. It feels like the first couple of chapters of a novel.
