Anomaly — K.A. Emmons

14-year-old Ion Jacobs just wants to belong to a family and feel normal. But his past is a mystery, his future is a question, and his whole life is about to change. Tossed from one foster home to another and shadowed by his mysterious past, Ion fears he'll never fit in -- until one day, when he drops a pencil and instead of falling to the floor...it floats. Shocked and bewildered, Ion searches deeper and discovers an undeniable truth about himself: he possesses extraordinary powers beyond his control. Healing injuries, levitating objects, and superhuman strength come as easy to him as breathing. Now Ion only has one goal: make sure no one finds out what he's capable of. Struggling to keep his newfound abilities a secret, Ion finds himself more isolated than ever -- until he meets a mysterious stranger in the woods who seems to understand Ion better than anyone else. As tensions rise at home with his new foster family, Ion finds it harder and harder to control his powers. And when he accidentally sparks a fire that nearly destroys their home, Ion is forced to face the reality of his situation: not only is he capable of healing -- he's also capable of fatal destruction. Anomaly is the gripping paranormal prequel to The Blood Race series by K.A. Emmons.
