Vivian SharpeVivian is an ordinary fifteen-year-old girl who has always lived life as dictated by the people around her. She is quiet, recedes into the background, and keeps her opinions to herself. Come to think of it, she really doesn’t have opinions. This all changes one April night, though, when everything Vivian thought she knew about herself and the world around her collapses. She has to draw on deep reserves of courage and conviction she never knew she had as she goes undercover to reveal a clandestine environmental disaster in her town and starts to receive threatening communiqués from a shadowy figure from her town’s past. Oh, and in the middle of everything, she has developed a whole new sense overnight, both a source of strength and a vulnerability. It’s an understatement to say that things are a little tumultuous in sensible Vivian’s life right now.
