Review: Captivating and historically-detailed, just fascinating

Disclaimer: I received an e-copy in exchange for an honest review.Kit seems to have the whole world against her: World War II is raging around her, her dad left the family, her mom shipped her and her little brother off to live with strangers to "protect" them, and she's stuck in a wheelchair. Oh, and she can jump into other people's minds.One night while dreaming, Kit's mind travels to that of a German, probably a Nazi, and she overhears some interesting tidbits about the war. However, when she tries to contact the man again, she instead finds her mind in Norway, dealing with a teenage boy named Henri. They strike up an interesting and unique friendship, and the story blossoms from there. Along the way, Kit finds herself involved in some crazy scenarios, all the while trying to push her body to the limit along with her mind.This was a rather unique tale, as I can't recall ever reading anything quite like it. The characters are easily understandable and relatable, and Kit's condition (both physical and mental) kept me completely engrossed. She and Henri make a wonderful pairing, and their ups and downs over the course of the story had me on the edge of my seat. What will happen to them? To Bickerstaff? To the Price family men? Will everyone make it home, or will we be shedding tears for lives cut too short? And will we find out the story behind Kit's interesting power, or will she be forever kept in the dark about that part of herself? You'll just have to read it for yourself. =)5 stars
