Wish LIst Wednesday (87)

The Keeper of the Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger, October 2, 2012. Published by Aladdin.

Twelve-year-old Sophie has always been different -- she's years ahead of the other kids in school and can read minds. She's always assumed there's some kind of logical explanation for her talents, but when she meets an adorable and mysterious boy, she finds out the shocking truth. She's never felt at home because she, well, ... isn't.

There are secrets buried deep in her memory, secrets about her true identity and why she was hidden among humans, that others desperately want and would even kill for. And she must figure out why she is the key to her brand-new world, before the wrong person finds the answer first.

Why: Because it sounds like a brilliant read and the cover is absolutely gorgeous, which is a total bonus.
