The Quiet is Loud by Samantha Garner

5.0

I really loved this. Similar to X-Men, this story features an Earth where people with special powers exist, and are greatly discriminated against. The main character Freya has the power of prophetic dreams, which she has hidden from the world, including her own father. Unlike X-Men, this is not an action/adventure, but a young woman's journey to embrace her identity. By connecting with others that are also "paradextrous" she comes to realize the power of connection with friends and ultimately her own family. Her Filipino/Norwegian background also made for really interesting cultural references.
