Finding Sky (2011) is
a young adult, fictional novel, containing the perfect combination of fantasy,
romance, adventure and drama.
I will admit it, I have read this novel five times and each
time the story is just as captivating and exciting as the last time I read it,
perfect for anyone whether you are a teenager or an adult.
Written by Joss Stirling, Finding
Sky is about 16-year-old Sky Bright, an English girl who has moved with her
adopted parents from England to Wrickenridge in Colorado.
Sky has a past, little of which she can remember apart from
being abandoned at a service station, but it still haunts her dreams and makes
her fear of what else she has forgotten when she was young.
From the age of ten, Sky got adopted by Sally and Simon and
they helped her in her hour of need as she would not talk to anyone and her
only comfort was music. Helping to bring her out of her shell, Sky’s new
parents helped to welcome her to their family and give her a normal life with
friends, but when her parents who are artists got the opportunity to move to
Wrickenridge to be resident artists, it is an offer that they cannot refuse.
Sky experiences the nerves and troubles of moving: having to
settle into a new school and make new friends while trying to get comfortable
in her new surroundings, but things are not as normal as Sky had hoped when she
meets bad boy Zed Benedict with a reputation of causing trouble in
Wrickenridge. He is a boy that all girls swoon over and adore, with dangerously
gorgeous looks, but when Sky finds he can communicate with her through
telepathy, she thinks she is going crazy – something she has always thought as
she used to imagine she could read peoples auroras to tell what emotions they
were feeling. But what if she was not imagining these things?
What Sky does not realise is she is a savant – people with
extraordinary powers, each of whom have a soulmate somewhere around the world
who is their equal. Moving to America will either make Sky or break her.
Zed and Sky are destined to be soulmates, but with Sky
fearing that no one can really love her and with troubles lying ahead, due to
criminals being after the Benedict family, all of whom are savants, working
together to capture criminals to send to jail, Zed has his work cut out for
him.
With Sky having to learn about what the savant world has in
store for her, learning about her powers, admitting her feelings for Zed and
letting go of her past, it is a rollercoaster of emotions and one that takes a
while to stop.
These books make you wish that the fiction were real. Hot
boys, super powers, romance, humour and danger. What more can a girl ask for?
