Where Futures End. One of her
six favorite YAs centering on teens with unusual abilities, as shared at the BN Teen blog:
Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies, by Lindsay Ribar
Aspen can steal the strangest things—emotions, memories, thoughts, and even abilities. He can heal his own injuries by stealing your wellness, can get rid of his anxiety by skimming off a little of your peace of mind. But what’s really surprising is that Aspen uses much of what he steals to placate the cliff hanging over his town so it won’t come crashing down on everyone. In the end, Aspen is forced to face one of my favorite dilemmas in stories about gifted teens: he must finally choose whether to use his ability for himself or for the good of others.
