Talisman of El by Alecia Stone

WHAT IF YOUR WHOLE LIFE WAS A LIE?

When 14-year-old Char­lie Blake wakes up sweat­ing and gasp­ing for air in the mid­dle of the night, he knows it is hap­pen­ing again. This time he wit­nesses a bru­tal mur­der. He's afraid to tell any­one. No one would believe him ... because it was a dream. Just like the one he had four years ago - the day before his dad died.

Char­lie doesn't know why this is hap­pen­ing. He would give any­thing to have an ordi­nary life. The prob­lem: he doesn't belong in the world he knows as home. He belongs with the others.

They are not human.

Ce ar fi daca intreaga ta viata a fost o minciuna?

Cand Charlie Blake, de 14 ani, se trezeste in mijlocul noptii, nadusit si gafaind dupa aer, el stie ca se intampla din nou. De data asta, a fost martorul unei crime brutale. Ii este frica sa spuna cuiva. Nimeni nu-l va crede pentru ca... a fost un vis. Un vis la fel cu cel pe care l-a avut acum patru ani, cu o zi inainte de moartea tatalui sau.

Charlie nu stie de ce se intampla asa. Ar da orice pentru a avea o viata obisnuita. Problema: el nu apartine lumii pe care el o stie ca fiind a lui. El apartine altora.

Altora care nu sunt oameni.
