Alex Kosmitoras's life has never been easy. The only other student who will talk to him is the school bully, his parents are dead broke and insanely overprotective, and to complicate matters even more, he's blind. Just when he thinks he'll never have a shot at a normal life, an enticing new girl comes to their small Midwest town all the way from India. Simmi is smart, nice, and actually wants to be friends with Alex. Plus she smells like an Almond Joy bar. Sophomore year might not be so bad after all. Unfortunately, Alex is in store for another new arrival--an unexpected and often embarrassing ability to "see" the future. Try as he may, Alex is unable to ignore his visions, especially when they suggest Simmi is in mortal danger. With the help of the mysterious psychic next door and friends who come bearing gifts of their own, Alex embarks on his journey to change the future.Open Heart, the second book in the Farsighted series, is now available for purchase!*BookBundlz Book Club Pick, 2012*Best Multicultural Fiction, Next Generation Indie Book Awards, 2012 *Finalist, Eric Hoffer Award, 2012*Overall Winner of the Dragonfly eBook Awards, 2011*Best Young Adult Fiction, Dragonfly eBook Awards, 2011*Best Debut Author, Dragonfly eBook Awards, 2011*Recipient of the "IndieReader Approved" designation *Winner of the Alternative Booker Award, 2011*Winner of the WritersType First Chapter Competition, September 2011*Runner-up for Best First Chapter, 2012 UP Awards*Runner-up for Best Book Description, 2012 UP Awards"Psychic or not, you'll never see the end for this one coming!
