What the Clever Boy Missed
The sharpest eyes can still miss the one thing that matters.
A Young Adult Fantasy Novel by M. D. Osborne
Chase Callahan notices everything, and when the old oak opens his eyes to the unseen world, he sees more than any of his brothers and sisters, and he cannot help letting them know it.
But something has settled over his seeing. It does not whisper. It is a lens, cold and clear as slate, and it shows him exactly what he wants to see: every foolish thing, every small failing, every proof that he is right and they are not. A boy who is always right has no reason to look any further.
When his cleverness leads them all to the brink of disaster, it is his gentle, overlooked twin brother, the one nobody was counting on, who quietly saves them. Now Chase must decide what his gift is truly for: proving he is right, or protecting the people he loves. Far beneath the sleepy surface of the town, the enemy’s true design is coming clear at last, and it is far bigger than one boy’s pride.
