Keeper of the Lost Cities

Twelve-year-old Sophie Foster has a secret. She's a Telepath—someone who hears the thoughts of everyone around her. It's a talent she's never known how to explain.
Everything changes the day she meets Fitz, a mysterious boy who appears out of nowhere and also reads minds. She discovers there's somewhere she does belong, and that staying with her family will put her in grave danger. In the blink of an eye, Sophie is forced to leave behind everything and start a new life in a place that is vastly different from anything she has ever known.
Sophie has new rules to learn and new skills to master, and not everyone is thrilled that she has come "home". There are secrets buried deep in Sophie's memory—secrets about who she really is and why she was hidden among humans—that other people desperately want. Would ever kill for.*
This series has really captured my heart. As I go through and read the book I often have moments when I exclaim, out loud, "SAME!" I've read several series where a character is so unreliable that whenever they appear it snaps me out of the story. This book really sucked me in and keep me there. The characters have constant personalties and actions and Shannon Messenger really kept me involved.
I'll admit, I might have cried on several occasions while reading these books, but I have also laughed out loud. Let me tell you, both are embarrassing when they happen in the library before school starts.
Even though I've gotten so pretty weird looks, by my facial expressions and verbal reactions while reading these book, they are worth reading and I recommend them. I am anxiously anticipating the release of the newest adventure by Shannon.
