OLDER FICTION
Karre, Elizabeth

Certain Signals

(3) YA Gift series. A mysterious stranger bestows supernatural abilities on conflicted teens, with each gift serving as a catalyst for their particular human drama. Despite some overt messaging, the blend of humor ("I don't do flying--it's just pointless"); wish fulfillment; astute character development; understated social commentary; and a diverse, multifaceted cast gives this new hi/lo series broad appeal and resonance.
