Here’s the set-up:

“Are you really a thief?” That’s the question that has haunted fourteen-year-old Ezekiel Blast all his life. But he’s not a thief, he just has a talent for finding things. Not a superpower—a micropower. Because what good is finding lost bicycles and hair scrunchies, especially when you return them to their owners and everyone thinks you must have stolen them in the first place? If only there were some way to use Ezekiel’s micropower for good, to turn a curse into a blessing. His friend Beth thinks there must be, and so does a police detective investigating the disappearance of a little girl. When tragedy strikes, it’s up to Ezekiel to use his talent to find what matters most. Master storyteller Orson Scott Card delivers a touching and funny, compelling and smart novel about growing up, harnessing your potential, and finding your place in the world, no matter how old you are.

There’s nothing I can do to save him.
Or her.

Or myself.

This is why I always stayed ‘hidden’ in the town of Hidden.
The secrets were always too big. The lies were always too easy to believe. Friends and enemies shared the same breath and words.

And now it all comes down to silence.

The noise is gone.
It’s just us.
It’s Nova and Elijah.
I’m the one who lived here.
He’s the one who visited in the summertime.
I’m the one who fell for him.
He’s the one who fell for me.

And now…?
