As long as Tess has best friend Tabitha, she can hide her outcast status from her manic-depressive mom and financially struggling dad. But early in junior year, Tess loses Tabitha to a tragedy Tess foresaw in a dream. The supernatural element never quite finds its place in the story, but Tess's concern that her burgeoning prophetic powers may signal her own mental illness is moving and believably rendered.
