Reader

Bobby Butler can read minds. He discovers his new gift in the worst possible place--high school. It doesn't go well. The fantasy of reading minds, of knowing exactly what other people think--of what they think of you--is very pretty. The reality is quite different. It begins with a beating, a lesson in the limits to his ability. It will end when he decides whether his new power will be a gift or a curse, for himself, his family and everyone around him.
