Teen Fiction. What if many of us had actual powers--not super powers, but micro powers. Things we may seem to think are insignificant, but that other people cannot do.
Ezekiel finds things, actually lost things find him and he returns them to their owners. Sounds like a great micropower, but it has gotten him into trouble with the police so he mostly ignores this power of his. Until he meets a girl who helps him see and understand his power in a different light.
This was published last year and I listened to the audio version, which was wonderful. I liked it so much I wanted to read it out loud to my kids. It's a little wordy, but after being patient for the first part of the book they really became interested and enjoyed the story. It does deal with violent crime for a good part of the book, but the author (he and I grew up in the same neighborhood) inserts enough light hearted banter that it doesn't become too heavy.
Recommend: Yes
