King of the Pygmies

Product Description

When fifteen-year-old Penn starts to hear voices, he is terrified. These aren't just any voices, though - they are the thoughts of people close to him. He can hear his parents' disappointments, his brother's silent anxieties, and even his neighbor's descent into quiet desperation. His momma wants him to get treated for schizophrenia, but his similarly gifted uncle Hewitt tells Penn that the ability to hear other people's thoughts and take away their pain makes him special, perhaps even a king among his kind.
