Gifted Volume 1: Amanda, Jenna, Emily by Marilyn Kaye About the Series Meadowbrook Middle School is an ordinary school with ordinary students-except for the Nine. These students look like the others, but they're not. You could call it a skill, a talent or a disadvantage, but each of these students is unique - they're gifted. Out of Sight, Out of Mind Queen of Mean Amanda Beeson, 13, gets the shock of her life when she wakes up one morning to find herself in the body of one of her victims, Tracey Devon. It turns out that Tracey, ignored at home and school, has the ability to become invisible. When Amanda finds herself in a special class that Tracey usually attends, it becomes clear that at Meadowbrook Middle School the definition of "gifted" has a whole other meaning. Can Amanda rescue her one-time target from obscurity and get her life back even if it means revealing her own startling gift to Meadowbrook's very secret clique?

When her alcoholic mother is hospitalized, a stranger shows up who says he's her long-lost dad and promises a better future. Too good to be true? Her gifted classmates think so, but Jenna is so determined to have a real parent around and a somewhat normal life that she may no longer be listening. Here Today Gone Tomorrow Shy, dreamy Emily Sanders is able to foresee future events with the gift of premonitions, but they aren't always quite right. With frustration, Emily cannot yet manage to control her visions or make sense of them, and the other students usually don't take her seriously. As Emily works on controlling her gift and her premonitions become clearer, her classmates find themselves in a situation where they are forced to listen to her, but will it be too late?

Gifted Volume 2: Ken, Tracey, Carter by Marilyn Kaye About the Series Meadowbrook Middle School is an ordinary school with ordinary students-except for the Nine.

FINDERS KEEPERS When Ken has an accident on the football field he starts hearing ghostly voices. It's not something he would have asked for, but it seems there's nothing he can do about it. When he gets an anonymous note inviting him to a séance, he's so convinced by the medium that he wants to tell her his secret. Only his gifted classmates can stop him from pouring his heart out and save him from terrible danger. NOW YOU SEE ME Tracy and the rest of the Gifted class are getting suspicious that there's a spy in their midst. But who? The chief suspect is queen-of-mean Amanda, who's started acting out of character and volunteering in the school office. Tracey and Jenna join forces—and gifts—to try to find out more. But when mind-reader Jenna is framed for a crime she didn't commit and sent to an institution, Tracey is on her own. Using her ability to become invisible, Tracey searches for answers and finds out more than she bargained for. SPEAK NO EVIL Nobody knows anything about Carter— not even his real name. For some reason, he's been put in the Gifted class, maybe because no one knows what else to do with him. He never speaks, but the other students suspect that—like them—there's something going on behind Carter's blank stare. What they don't know is that it's something dangerous.
