Happy me
I just bought a used copy of The Girl With the Silver Eyes, a book that I simply adored when I was a kid. I read and re-read it many, many times.
For anyone not familiar, it's about a girl with telekinetic powers who feels like a freak because she's different from everyone else. She finds some other kids like her, and they figure out how they got to be the way they are.
I was obsessed with this kind of stuff. Stories about kids with weird powers, ESP, time/space travel, magical worlds. I wanted so badly for it to be REAL.
Anyway...I'm pretty sure my original copy of this book still exists in my parents' attic somewhere, but it's in a pretty bad way.
So very soon, this will be mine:
Yay! :)

I assume you've read "The Chrysalids" before? Same type of themes and it was my favorite science fiction novel as a kid (along with "A Wrinkle In Time").

No, I'm not familiar with the Chrysalids. I'll have to go looking for it. :)
A Wrinkle in Time is my most favorite book ever!

Oooh, I loved The Girl with the Silver Eyes. And I like all of Lois Duncan. And you can't say enough good things about A Wrinkle in Time. Apparently I need to look for The Chrysalids.
