Review: I finished it just to give it a chance...

I knew that this title was geared to younger readers, which generally doesn't deter me too much, I usually see such books as quick reading/easy entertainment.  After the first 2 chapters, I honestly wanted to give up on the story all together.  I mean, really, a girl dreaming of people dying and her parents say "yes honey, you will dream of tragedy, but nope, you can't do anything about it."  And "Happy birthday, your family is special, we all have special powers, but you can't do anything about it."  It all just seemed ridiculous.  But, I am the type who has to finish a book, I can't leave even the silliest of books unread.  The plot had potential, but the characters had little substance.  The big secret was blown up into public news half way into the story so what more is there for the next 2 books, I'd imagine just continuation of these 3 children running from the government, which makes it less paranormal thriller and more like a new age Holocaust fiction.  I have little to no desire to read the next book; I gave it 3 stars and not 2 because it is better than some of the teen/YA books I have read in the past.
