In the place where David lives everybody has to 

be the same. Nobody can have more than 

five fingers or five toes, or be different in 

anyway. If you are caught with more or less 

than the normal, you are not a human.

If you are different, you must be sent away 

with all the other people who are not normal. 

This place is called "The Fringes", and "The 

Fringes" is not a fun place. They do not have 

enough food or water to survive, unlike 

normal people have.

David remembers 

seeing his first 

different person. It 

was a man eight 

feet tall, with 

super long arms 

and legs. The man 

was in a fight with 

David's dad, and 

had to run away 

from the farm they 

lived on fast.

David meets a new friend named Sophie. 

They have so much fun together, until he 

finds out Sophie has six toes. Sophie is NOT 

normal, and David cannot see Sophie ever 

again.

David's mom just had a new baby! David's 

new baby sister is named Petra, they have a 

special connection that cannot be explained. 

They become very close and can talk with 

their minds.

David, his two sisters (Petra and Anne), and 

his best friend Rosalind realize that they all 

have a special gift. They can all read minds 

and send messages to each other without 

speaking. They must now stick together and 

keep it as a secret, because others will think 

they are not normal.

Anne is getting married to a person who does 

not have the gift. The others think it is a bad 

idea because the gift has to be kept secret. 

Anne tells her husband the secret, others find 

out and they are sent to be killed.

The special kids now know that where they 

live it is not safe at all. They have to run 

away, to save themselves and meet people 

just like them. Petra, being the youngest, 

does not know anything that is going on.

Petra starts talking with her mind sending 

thought shapes to a person very far away. A 

lady that is trying to help them tells them 

where to go and who to find. Petra is very 

special out of the group because she can talk 

to people from many, many miles away, 

unlike the others.

David receives a 

thought-shape from 

a friend who has 

been captured 

warning them that 

the government 

knows about them 

running off. The 

government thinks 

they are 

dangerous, and 

considers them not 

to be human. The 

kids are on the 

move to find a safe 

place.
