This is a nicely crafted coming of age story of a young sunshine, who acquires powers at the age of 16. Sunshine is adopted by the woman that found her at the hospital, Kat, a neonatal nurse. Even though they are technically Mother and daughter, they are so much more, they are best friends. Sunshine will do anything for her mother, even move across the country so Kat can have the job of her dreams!
Shortly after Sunshine's 16th birthday they move to a damp and creepy part of the state of Washington, where it always seems to rain. Sunshine is affected by the dreary weather and something else. The first night in their rented home is eventful at least for Sunshine, who hears footsteps on the floor above them. She is convinced the house is haunted, but Kat will not believe in any of that nonsense. Sunshine then tries to prove her claims by taking photos and collecting data. She hopes on her first day of school, that she will be able to utilize the dark room and process her film and prove to her mother the strange occurrences that are happening in their home.
Sunshine was nervous on her first day of school, new school, kids and teachers, but she was looking forward to her art class and developing her film. Imagine her disappointment when she discovers that there is no photography or dark room at her new school. But in walks somebody that she can not take her eyes off and he is sitting right next to her. This boy becomes her friend and protector and they work together to save Kat. Sunshine girl has no idea who or what she is and as she grows into her powers and faces the unbelievable she may find a first boyfriend, save her mother and come to terms with her unique abilities.
This book was a pleasure to read, a very enjoyable page turner. I am giving this book a 4.5 out of 5 stars and believe it is appropriate for students 7th grade and up. Even though the main character is female, it does not exclude male readers, especially with the topic being haunting and spirits. This is an incredible coming of age tale pick up your copy today.
