Before anything else you must be warned about the epic cliffhanger at the end of this (Farrugia you are mean!) so be prepared for that, I wasn't and was actually near a breakdown when I got to it (not prepared for it at all). This uses some of the same characters from Farrugia's Fifth column series and follows Olesya in her early years as she is accepted to school for the gifted, much to the surprise of her and her parents. The story then begins to jump around a little which can be a bit difficult to follow (or it could be because I read too fast to keep things straight in my head). There is also a fair bit of science behind the abilities of the Olesya and her friends and the events relating to these which isn't really explained (hoping that comes up later in the series), which my inner geek was dying to know about. An great start to the series but it so leaves you wanting more!
