Murder has a way of scaring away tourists, which can mean economic death for a tourist town. Unfortunately, the Fern family find themselves having to contend with a competitor: a new psychic has moved into town and worse still, she claims to see the future, which is something no one in the Fern family can do. The family must eat.Ĭlare expects the upcoming summer to be more of the same - her wishing she were a normal girl without any psychic ability from a normal family without any psychic ability and her being trapped in the house by her mother to give readings to whatever tourists walk in. Of course, most people think they’re either scam artists or a novelty just for fun, but the money raked in during summer tourism pays the bills during the winter. Clare’s mother is a telepath, her older brother can see and talk to ghosts, and Clare is psychometrist, meaning that when she touches things, she has visions relating to the owner. Tourists - and more importantly, their money - are very important to the Fern family. Thankfully, Scholastic sent along a copy anyway and Jane forwarded it on to me.Ĭlarity Fern lives with her mother and older brother in a tourist town on Cape Cod. I made a mental note to request Clarity, but I’m afraid it fell through the cracks. I admit I hadn’t heard at all about either you or your debut novel until I saw it mentioned during the Scholastic preview webcast a few months ago.
