關於本有聲書

Ellie Engle doesn’t stand out. Not at home, where she’s alone with her pet fish since her dad moved away and her mum has to work around the clock. Not at the bakery, where she helps out old Mr Walker on the weekends. And definitely not at school, where her best friend, Abby – the coolest, boldest, most talented girl in the world – drags Ellie along on her never-ending quest to 'make her mark'. To someone else, life in the shadows might seem boring or lonely, but not to Ellie. As long as she has Abby by her side and a comic book in her hand, she’s quite content. Too bad life didn’t bother checking in with Ellie, because when a freak earthquake hits her small town, Ellie wakes up with the power to bring anything back to life with just her touch. And when a video of her using her powers suddenly goes viral, Ellie’s life goes somewhere she never imagined or wanted – straight into the spotlight.
