The plot was so confusing. I had to consistently go back and reread. It was just a very tedious read. *Won from Goodreads Giveaway*Originally from the deep south, Donna Childree lives happily in the Midwest writing, making art, and enjoying family. A few years back Donna began a writing partnership with her son, Mike Hopper which resulted in their first book "The Wayward Gifted: Broken Point", a coming of age novel filled with angst and adventure for adolescents through adults. The team is now busy working on the second book
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.First off, this book is pitched for MG readers, but I do feel that those who enjoy YA and traditional writing (more on that later) would appreciate this book.

I could relate to two children who are both gifted and hurting at the same time, and I think the author does a great job of helping readers to really experience life through the eyes of the children.
I won this through a Goodreads First Reads giveaway I just finished reading this book, and I have to say, I am angry and disappointed by the ending. However, I did like the main idea of the story. It was unique and interesting The story revolves around two very interesting children Steuart, who loves anagrams, and Sam, who is obsessed with colors. They are both the adoptive children of Olivia DuBoise, one of the most horrible women ever to call herself a mother. Soon after moving to a new town,
