Synopsis

Charlie McGee appears to be like every other child her age. She attends school in the small town where her father is a professor and her mother is a homemaker. She plays with dolls and Barbies just like all other five year old girls. The only thing that sets her apart from the others is that she has a large power inside her. This power, aside from being very strange and unknown, can also be deadly to Charlie and to the people around her. Charlie's parents Vicki and Andy McGee were involved in a drug test ten years ago, not seeing any real side effects immediately. They had small powers to "push" people into doing things, and some others, but they did not realize the extent of their powers until they had their daughter. Soon afterwards, strange things began to happen. Things would mysteriously catch on fire around the house, things well out of the way of matches. To their astonishment, their beautiful daughter had the power to light fires on command. Soon, the government began to put two and two together, realizing that this could be very dangerous, and at the same time very useful to them. After killing Vicki, Charlie and Andy are on the run, trying to save themselves from the "Shop", themselves, and the strange power lurking inside of Charlie. This book kept me on the edge of my seat, and I could barely put it down. I can honestly say that it is the best Stephen King novel that I have ever read. I highly recommend it to anyone. --Amy Hoyda, Amazon
