(2) YA Sixteen-year-old Elena Mendoza discovers she can heal people, but her gift comes with a cost: each healing leads to random people being "raptured" into the heavens. As Elena muses on her weightier cosmic choices and more mundane high-school decisions, the narrative delves into thought-provoking philosophical territory. Another surreal, provocative, and witty book about the end of the world from Hutchinson.
