Twelve-year-old Duncan's unexplained ability to read printed material by touch makes him good at cheating while picking Scrabble tiles. When he meets April and Nate at a Scrabble tournament, they all discover there is more at stake than their need to win. This story of unique friendships, with its mild supernatural bent, is entertaining and engaging.
