ABOUT THIS BOOK

“Charm galore.”—Kirkus Reviews

Claire Voyante has been having strange visions ever since she can remember. But the similarity between her name and her talents is purely coincidental. The name is French and unlike the psychics on TV, she can’t solve crimes or talk to the dead.

But that all changes on Claire’s 15th birthday, when her grandmother gives her something a little more extraordinary than one of her old cocktail dresses: a strange black-and-white onyx cameo on a gold chain. It’s not long before Claire’s world becomes a whole lot clearer. And a whole lot more dangerous.


“Plenty of entertainment.”—Publishers Weekly

“Lauren Mechling weaves a hilarious tale out of mystical dreams, high school terror, and haute couture. . . . A fun, fast-paced, totally engrossing read.”—Kristen Miller, author of Kiki Strike: Inside Shadow City


REVIEWS

Review, The New York Times Book Review, September 12, 2008:
"Claire Voyante . . . has a curious talent for seeing into the future, but no control over it."


From the Hardcover edition.
