Publisher Comments:

I just might have the worst life in the world. My dad is long gone, and my mom's crazy gold-digging schemes keep us broke and on the move. I could probably deal with all that, except I've started astral projecting. Right in the middle of French class. I never know where I'm going to end up next. Sometimes I land back in my old Atlanta apartment, where a strange blind man now lives. He keeps shouting at me, but he'll only answer my questions with more questions. . . .

Traveling through time and space into her own past as well as the present-day lives of her classmates, Easter Hutton struggles to understand why she's having weird astral experiences and occasional bouts of invisibility. She soon discovers other outcasts with special talents--all connected to a mysterious organization called Homefree. As disasters pile up in both the real world and the astral world, Easter must use her unusual abilities to find a place to call home.

Synopsis:

Easter Hutton just might have the worst mom in the world. Does she really think her slime-ball boyfriend will divorce his wife just because Mom is pregnant? Missing her best friend and her dad, Easter just wants to blend in at her new school, which proves difÞcult when she starts experiencing involuntary bouts of astral-projection. She cant decide which is worse: these mysterious jaunts or the antics of her selÞsh, eccentric mother. Everything changes when Easter discovers Homefree, an underground organization devoted to helping teenagers, like herself, with paranormal gifts. Suddenly she doesnt feel like an outsider anymore. Maybe a normal life-with real friends and a boyfriend-is possible after all.
