Leighton's Summer is the second book of the  SYNSK series.  The end of World War II has finally come.  Leighton is looking forward to summer as he is about to turn 16.  Before he can make any plans his mom and dad drop some news on him.Dad and Mom have been asked to go to Geneva during the summer.  As Leighton is contemplating a whole summer in London with no parents, his dad says he is being shipped off to Blackpool to stay with Nannie Arkwright(Looking on the Internet for a bit of information on Blackpool and I think that it would have been a wonderful to visit.  It is still dependent on tourism, but it was very popular during the time of Leighton's summer there)On the train to Blackpool Leighton has a psychic vision of burglary in progress.  He thinks that it is not something that will affect him, but he is so wrong about it.Leighton meets Faye during his summer in Blackpool.  She has some powers like Leighton but hasn't been trained on how to use them like Leighton and his family.  Between Leighton and Faye and several other children they are able to stop a sinister plan.This is a coming of age story that is so well written.  I love it how K.C Finn followed up with the characters from A Mind's Eye, but still gave Leighton his own story.I hope that K.C. Finn continues on with this series.  I am truly enamored of her amazing writing.And because I accidentally included Ty Gywn as the countryside of England I am going to include a little background of Ty Gywn.Ty Gywn is Welsh for "white" or "blessed house"  It is located in Wales (which is its own country) and is bordered by England on the east and the Irish is north and south of Wales.(information was retrieved from Wikipedia.)*I was given this amazing book by the author/publisher for an honest review.  I am grateful that I had the opportunity to be able to read the amazing book*
