At Kids Can Press, we recognize that viewing a single spread is not always effective when attempting to evaluate reading level, gauging student interest or appraising the quality and detail of illustration in a children’s book.

For this reason, we have worked with Lookybook.com to incorporate full, cover-to-cover previews of select picture books and early reading titles within our on-line store. We believe that Lookybook is the most compelling previewing experience currently available on-line, and that it’s as close and you can get to flipping through pages of the real book in a bookstore, at a trade show or school library. We hope that you will take advantage of this useful feature while browsing through our Web site.

For more information about Lookybook, or to read reviews of our books by librarians, industry experts and moms and dads, visit www.lookybook.com.

Hardcover Jacket USD $17.95 978-1-55453-291-9 Paperback USD $8.95 978-1-55453-292-6 Grades: 5 to 8 Ages: 10 to 14 Character Education courage Reading Levels: Fountas & Pinnell X Grade Level 6-up Accelerated Reader 4 MG © 2009 BW 5 1/4 x 7 7/8 224 pages	Frankie Uccello seems like just another fourteen-year-old boy — Ace of Average, King of Common, Master of Middle. Everything he does has a tendency to turn out average. Even when Frankie dreams recurrently of flying, his father tells him that at least one in three people does this. He's perfectly normal, normal, normal. Or is he? When Frankie discovers something ominous about his dreams — that he can dream the future, especially when something bad is about to happen — he realizes that he might be talented, after all. But seeing the future was only cool in movies and TV. In real life, you're just a whacko. Besides, the future doesn't look good. One night Frankie dreams his best friend, Tim, falls from a horse. Is Tim going to be killed? Can Frankie save him? Something about the dream doesn't fit, and that something is Weird Maura-Lee, one of three people Frankie avoids like the plague. Maura-Lee can read minds, and she seems to be reading his. Reviews “... this feels like a story from an earlier time, with warm, loving adult characters that nurture and support their children ... a guaranteed feel good ending.” — Booklist, March 2009 “Evocatively written ... deftly mixes a touch of the supernatural into a realistic narrative.” — Kirkus Reviews, February 2009 “The story has several touching moments and unexpected turns in a plot that intertwines the everyday vicissitudes at school and home with some seemingly supernatural twists.” — School Library Journal, August 2009
