Ward, Rachel

Fifteen-year-old Jem knows when she looks at someone the exact date they will die, so she avoids relationships and tries to keep out of the way, but when she meets a boy named Spider and they plan a day out together, they become more involved than either of them had planned.

Whenever Jem looks into someone's eyes, she sees the date of their death. In line for a ride on London's Eye Ferris Wheel, Jem notices that all the others in line flash today's number. Disconcerted by this view, Jem leaves the area moments before a deadly terrorist attack.
