The first in the "Children of Power" series, this book introduces Smith Valley: a private school for privileged interstellar youth. Jenni is a deaf student from a frontier planet, while her roommate Michiko is from Earth. Along with alien Roris, runaway Hope, and reluctant attendee Kechana, they will spend a year away from the lives to which they're accustomed. Their first challenge is not to find common ground, but to find a common language.

I have read all five of the Children of Power books, and this is, by far, my favorite. The character development is a beautiful thing to experience. That alone would have made it an enjoyable book to read, but then the story developed and was entertaining in it's own right. Good book.
