From a beguiling new voice in contemporary fantasy/sci-fi comes an
astonishing novel about a mysterious group of teenagers with the
ability to change lives... Ever since young Milly Bythaway can
remember, she's had to hide who she really is - dumbing down an
extraordinary genius in order to blend into the background.
14-year-old Tai Jones has been abandoned by his mother and forced
to live as a homeless wanderer on the streets of London, but the
appearance of a stray cat helps him realise he has a special gift:
he can see thoughts and emotions of others in stunningly beautiful
colours. A gift that is both wonderful and awful. When the
teenagers are brought together by a mysterious old scientist for
their own safety, they are told of a common and forgotten past. One
of secret experiments, and a missing family that they yearn to
find. But they soon hear of the disappearance of another child, the
youngest, and are faced with an impossible dilemma. Saving
themselves will require confronting their deepest fears - and the
possibility of losing their minds... When the teenagers are brought
together by a mysterious old scientist for their own safety, they
are told of a common and forgotten past. One of secret experiments,
and a missing family that they yearn to find. But they soon hear of
the disappearance of another child, the youngest, and are faced
with an impossible dilemma. Saving themselves will require
confronting their deepest fears, and risking their very sanity...
But if they can muster the strength to overcome adversity in
inventive and ingenious ways, it will bring about the most
extraordinary and unexpected change. In the end, the children must
work together, unleashing the full force of their intellect and
genius, in an epic battle of the world's greatest minds. The
Ingenious and the Colour of Life is J.Y. Sam's beautiful and
heart-rending debut - a story that explores the fragility of human
nature, with a dash of science, culture, and the natural world,
engaging both mind and heart in an eclectic blend of genres. A
CAPTIVATING READ FOR TEENAGERS AND ADULTS "What an absolutely
beautiful story and all-around amazing read! This is definitely
going to be one of my Top 15 2021 favorites. Yes, it's THAT good. I
loved everything about this book! Sci-Fi Fantasy mix with writing
so good you are LIVING the words. I love how the author
incorporates nature throughout this story. The lives the animals
and insects lead, the feelings they have and how significant every
creature is...down to the lowliest crane fly." Amazon.com reviewer
