![]() ![]() ![]() Poppy Mayberry, a Monday hasn't been able to use her gift until Ellie Preston, a Thursday, makes Poppy so mad that Poppy sends Ellie's headband flying right off of her head. Most kids are able to use their gift between 10 and 13 years old. Mondays have the gift of telekinesis, Tuesdays are able to teleport, Wednesdays are able to manipulate electricity, Thursdays can read minds and Fridays have the gift of invisibility. In Nova City anyone born during the week, Monday through Friday, receives a special power dependent on the day that they were born. This wasn't my favorite children's book, but I was definitely curious enough about their future to consider reading any future volumes in the series. The group's friendship, especially with the rivalry originally between the two girls being addressed, was a major selling point for the book. I also liked that all of the children in the book were "special" and it wasn't just our narrator. However, I really liked that it's a science fiction book from a young girl's perspective, that's a genre/demographic mix that I would love to see more of. I think my biggest criticism would be the world building, there were several aspects to understanding the powers and the setting that I was on the look out for and either didn't have answered or only had full clarification about a large way through the novel. ![]() It felt a bit slow and had a couple of grammatical issues, but nothing too outrageous. ![]() I received this book as a free early reviewer copy in exchange for an honest review. ![]()
