Fern McAllister may be able to predict the weather and communicate with her family dog, but she’s also the kind of girl who has trouble making friends and seems doomed to spend the entirety of middle school hiding up in a tree with a book. When she accidentally teleports to the beach from English class one day, she realizes that she is really, truly different from the cruel girls in her seventh grade class who make fun of her. She tries to keep her suspicions about herself secret, worrying that her differences will alienate her from her family. Her twin brother Sam figures out Fern’s secret and vows to help her discover the truth. Working together they learn that Fern is a member of The Otherworldlies – an ancient vampire sect – and may even be one of The Unusual Eleven who are thought to possess unique powers. She becomes the target of another vampire sect, the blood-drinking Blouts, as well as a person of interest to the suspicious Vampire Alliance. Fern must learn to stand up for herself and her loved ones, speak truth to power, and figure out how to make friends in the seventh grade. Can she do it?
