A unique and irresistible YA coming-of-age story about sixteen-year-old Beth, who discovers she has a life-saving gift. A superb novel about finding out what it takes to be an unlikely hero.

She grows so fast her bones hurt and she feels like throwing up. Everyone - including Etienne, the boy over the road - looks at her differently. Then she starts catching people. People who are falling out of trees or from great heights. Soon Beth discovers that helping strangers sometimes hurts - hurts her and the people she loves. And it isn't great for her school grades, either. Will she find a way to balance family and friendship and basketball and romance and ... catching? An extraordinary story about finding out who you are, and discovering who you want to be.
