Shades is a series of short novels that doesn't short change on drama, pace, quality of writing or style. Ideal for readers who may find traditional teen novels too daunting, but still crave the excitement of clever plot lines, well-rounded characters and fast-paced writing. Braindeads like Conor Smith are scary. Everyone says so. Kids who become telepathic as they hit puberty can't be normal. That's why they need special implants in their brains...Lara thinks the same until the day she discovers she's a telepath too. And once the authorities know, it's only a matter of time before Lara gets an implant too...
