The Other Ones

By Jean Thesman

Book Overview

For as long as she can remember, Bridget has been able to do things other people can't-read minds, move objects without touching them, hear the songs and stories the wind and rain tell. She has pushed her powers down for years, trying to be like her "normal" classmates. Then baffling, fragile Althea Peale comes to town, and Bridget is forced to choose. She is the only one who has the power to help Althea, or to hurt her.... "A quiet and thought-provoking coming-of-age story, delightfully flavored with touches of humor, romance, and teenage angst."

15 years old now then 13

Its been 2 years since I read this book but it has stuck with me the whole time I mean it was an awesome story even though it was way too short. The characters like Jordan should have been introduced more,but hey! it was still great. Jordan's life was really really sad and I knew exactly how Bridget felt. I give this book 2 thumbs up ................go and read it...real touching

Cool

This book is a magical, mystical ride through the adventure of a young adolescent girl named, Bridget. This is a must have.

Excellent!

This is by far my favorite book. The words are lyrical and almost like poetry. While it may not be completely developed, for fantasy lovers, this doesn't matter. I laughed aloud numerous times, it has comedic parts. Most of all- I could relate to the character and that is very important. A must read for all fantasy lovers.

read this book!!!

Jean Thesman is one of my faveorite authors, and The Other Ones is one of her best books, because it's more like a fantasy. xiii is really funny. The magic is awesome. And I loved the end!!!!!!
