Ginevra Bond Adventures #1
Ginevra Bond
Since she was three years old, Ginevra Bond has been different from other people; she can’t explain it, nor can her parents, except to say that Ginevra was caught in a storm, and afterward she knew things.
Now Ginevra is sixteen, and word of her unusual gift has gotten to the FBI. Agent Wade Doyle, an expert in unexplained phenomena, is sent to observe her and learn just what Ginevra can do. From that point on, Ginevra’s life is never the same, as more and more people want this young woman as an asset in a world beset with problems.
In the events that follow, Ginevra must learn to rely on her own special talents as well as on the loyalty of her friends.

Ginevra Bond was a decent read. Some parts of the novel were slow and I felt my attention waver in parts, but overall the book was pleasant. It had a very happy and optimistic tone and the main character was relatively fleshed out. I would've loved to see more development of her brother Doug and even more of the friendship between her and Viola - her love interest tended to take a leading role (which is hard to escape these days in any genre but particularly YA).
That being said, the book itself had an interesting plot and was somewhat original. Overall a decent solid read.
