Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Second Sight
Gary Blackwood · 2007
78/100
👍 Worth It
Gary Blackwood builds a genuinely tense alternate-history thriller out of the Lincoln assassination, and the chemistry between Joseph and Cassandra carries the story even when the plot slows. The historical research is meticulous and the present-tense narration keeps the pages turning. Faith families will want to know Cassandra's clairvoyance is treated as a natural gift, not an occult practice.
