Showing results for "An Encounter" in Teen & Young Adult

The purpose of this book is to educate young adults (or anyone I guess) of the potential risks they might face meeting new people. There are two sides to every coin and you will never really know someone's true past.

How do teenagers confront the problems of life in real, hard ways? These stories - all originally published in Encounter - were written with teenagers in mind. Each one has a unique flair for addressing very specific problems, but all of them will delight as much as any of the other work by Lancelot Schaubert.

Some things are best left unseen.... Heather Reiner has always felt like an outsider. And she doesn't have a normal afterschool job, either. That's because she's got amazing psychic abilities that help the police, well, mostly Detective Tanner, track down dangerous criminals. Heather has no choice but to embrace her gift of second sight when her visions take a dangerous turn by revealing a government corruption. And if that weren't bad enough, Heather learns that a local college student is missing, too.

After moving to a new town, Heather Reiner struggles to keep her psychic abilities a secret and establish a sense of normalcy...at least for her overprotective mother's sake. But when Heather starts having terrifying visions of a missing boy, she can't simply ignore them. This time she feels an inexplicable pull to solve the crime, and slowly begins to believe that her supernatural gifts could actually help others.
