Blurb: Before she was kidnapped, Jillian Marie Antel Blairington was just an average bright, brave, headstrong child. She was excited for life in a new house with her Momma and new Daddy. Afterward, she's all that ... and so much more.
Held in a scientific facility, Jillian discovers her past-a family she never knew and a power she doesn't understand. With her ability now activated, she can enter and even shape a person's dreams. Jillian's been kidnapped, and her Gift has been triggered, so she can locate and save Benjamin Connelly, a brother she never even knew she had. She'd better master this strange ability quickly, though, because her life isn't the only one at stake. Her babysitter, Danielle Matheson, is being held as a hostage to ensure Jillian's full cooperation. Slowly, Jillian begins to learn more about her captor and the other genetically altered children held at the facility.
Join Jillian as she tries to survive the training being forced upon her, find her unknown brother, escape with Danielle, and work her way back to a normal life once more.

This is a story about 12 year girl, Jillian, and her babysitter who was kidnapped. In a science facility she learns she has the ability to go into peoples dreams, and she was brought there to help find another child who was also kidnapped.
The idea of the story was interesting, but the presentation just about drove me nuts. The story is told solely through journal entries and letters by the main characters and a few of the other characters and because of that it left me with allot of questions. I enjoyed seeing who the characters felt about the events after the fact and what they remembered of what happened.
Jillian is strong and has a good since if right and wrong but hearing from her 12 year old mind left me wondering about the things she didn't understand. Danielle the babysitter fills in some blanks, but her parts of the story left other questions as well. Overall the story was ok but it left me wanting.
