Summary
About the author
About the narrator

Penny has never met anyone smarter than her. That’s par for the course when you’re a savant—one of less than one hundred in the world. But despite her photographic memory and super-powered intellect, there’s one question Penny doesn’t know the answer to: where did her father go when he left her and her mother years ago? On Penny’s 21st birthday, she receives a card in the mail from her father, just as she has every year since he left. But this birthday card is different. For the first time ever, there’s a return address. Penny may not know much about the world beyond The Institute, the special school she has attended since her abilities became clear, but now seems like the perfect time to break free of her safe existence and start to really live. What she doesn’t realize is that the real world is more complicated and dangerous than she ever imagined...

Gina Rogers was asked to narrate her first audiobook in 2014 after an author overheard her imitating her mother's New York accent at a dinner party. While she swears her background in musical theater and television acting has in no way prepared her to speak in accents and dialects, her ability to breathe life into characters has taken her a long way in her career as an audiobook narrator.

Reviews

"When she was seven, Penny’s mother threw her down a flight of stairs, sending her into a coma. When she awakes, she finds that she has developed special abilities . . . [Narrator Gina Rogers] ably handles moments of high action while sensitively portraying Penny’s coming of age." –Library Journal Wilson punches up Penny's anything-can-happen adventures with a deadpan first-person narrative that pares its cast of characters to the absolute minimum and relies on sentences and paragraphs and chapters as short, and about as reassuring, as hiccups. Fasten your seat belt. This is one wild ride. Expand reviews
