I love a good fantasy or dystopian novel. But sometimes a good historical story is a must read. Today I finished up a story that took me back in time...The Mind's Eye by K.C. Finn.In the beginning of the story, the reader is sent back to World War II.  Kit and Leighton Cavendish are evacuated to the countryside of England as the War is starting.  The writing of the evacuation is so descriptive, that I almost felt that I was there, feeling the evacuation of the children to the countryside.  Normally I wouldn't compare books to movies or other books, but my first thought of the first part of the book made me think of the the movie based on one of my all time favorite classics books.The story focuses on 15 year old Kit Cavendish.  She has a power that enables her to get into others peoples's mind.  She can see what they see, feel what they are feeling, and even speak to them.  She doesn't tell anyone for the fear of being discovered and exposed.As Kit and Leighton are settling into the life in a village of North Wales, Kit is learning how to manage her powers and even expand them.  One day as she is learning how to control them, she lands into the mind of a 17 year old Norwegian boy, Henri.Kit and Henri grow throughout the book.  They discover each other as Kit guides him through his escape to England.The Mind's Eye is such an amazing story.  There is twists that I never expected.  It had a very sublte cliffhanger that I loved. It made me really glad that book 2, Leighton's Summer is available!This book is so worth the 5 stars and more!!  I can't wait to see what K.C. Finn comes out with this series!!!*I was given this book from the author for an honest review.  Honesty is what you got*
