Everyone is happy. As Jacob nears his thirteenth birthday, he anxiously anticipates his new role as an adult and all the changes that will bring. But as the day approaches, a far greater change threatens Jacob's future. It all starts with a searing pain in his eyes ... This is the first book of David Stahler Jr.'s gripping Truesight trilogy. This title begins a startling sci-fi trilogy about a teen boy living in a community that chooses blindness as a way of life. When he is stricken with sight, he learns just how much beauty and terror there is to see in a world that is blind. Young Adult.
