    The Children’s Book Review | January 24, 2017

    Paperback: 272 pages

    the-peerless-seerThe Peerless Seer: The Emaleen Andarsan Series: Volume 1

    Written by B.S. Gibbs

    In The Peerless Seer, eleven-year-old Emaleen Andarsan has been a living a quiet, seemingly uneventful life with her Aunt Zeraida and Uncle Morvin near a lake in the Adirondack Mountains since her parents gave her up for adoption when she was just a few weeks old.

    Every day when Emaleen gets home from class, her aunt asks her if anything strange happened at school. The odd question starts to make sense when, just before summer break, Emaleen realizes she has unique and unusual abilities–magical abilities that can be a significant a danger to her life as well as an incredible and astonishing gift.

    It’s crucial for her safety, and for the safety of those she loves, that Emaleen not only trains her powers for her own defense but that she learns to harness them, controlling them even as she nurtures them. Along the way, she faces unexpected challenges and discovers she’s not alone: there are many people and animals in her life who support and love her and are willing to protect her at any cost.

    The Peerless Seer is a tale of the courage, determination, discipline, and dedication it takes to grow in kindness and character, achieve goals, and realize our full potential. It also includes mindfulness concepts and positive messages.

      Unfortunately when I think of a superpower I can immediately also think of the disadvantages that would accompany it. I suppose my superpower that I currently possess is practicality. Bummer.

      I have a unique ability, I have empathy for others. Its something a lot of people do not have. I believe it is a unique ability. I would love to have the power to read peoples feelings, so I could be sure of what they feel about me and about all things.

      I always wanted the power of invisibility.

      I have something considered, by some, to be a sixth sense: the power to perceive the suffering of others, without any communication from them or anyone else.

      I wish I could read people’s minds, but that may not always be a great thing. So, I’m going to choose healing the sick and hurt!
