Thirteen-year-old Kelli Paramar has always kept her ability to talk to and hear objects a secret (especially after her father walked out after she told him years ago), but when she hears about Project Epiphany, which is studying the possibility of ESP and telekinesis by doing brain scans, she is interested--though she does not entirely trust the psychology professor in charge, it is only when some of the other test subjects start to vanish, that she realizes her suspicions are fully justified, and in fact the situation may be far worse than she imagined.
