(4) YA Obernewtyn Chronicles series. Elspeth's strange psychic powers make her a Misfit, one of the many mutants born after the nuclear holocaust. Exiled to Obernewtyn, a remote prison farm where Misfits undergo sinister experiments, Elspeth helps overthrow the wardens' plot to find and control the "Beforetime" apocalyptic weapons. Though Carmody's premise and prose are unoriginal, her world is substantially developed and packed with mysteries; this engrossing series opener leaves readers wanting more.
