Her unique, innate skill often feels more like a curse than a gift, and Maddie grudgingly puts it to use identifying deathdates for the paying customers her mother reels in. The forehead of every person she sees is marked by the shadowy digits of their deathdate. Listening Length: 9 hours and 15 minutes.
And in all honesty, I could just be too old for this story. In all honesty, this could very well be a win for a younger person, an excellent MG to YA for someone more willing to accept this one. There were too many outrageous things overlooked in this book that made it too much for me. While I enjoyed the writing and story development I just could not suspend reality far enough to fully love this one. The knowing of the death dates is a burden I for one would not want to carry. WHEN is a YA read that takes the paranormal trend to a new level (at least new to me). Although skeptical with what Maddie can truly offer, the police find her to be right on with the numbers, not realizing that Maddie’s involvement is making her a person of interest to someone who is very dangerous. When a young boy goes missing on the date that Maddie knew he would die, the police bring in Maddie to possibly help solve what seems to be turning into a series of missing young people. Left with the devastating guilt that she did not figure out the numbers until it was too late and not knowing if she could have changed anything anyway, Maddie begins to earn money by offering readings to those who wished to know their death dates. Then Maddie knew, the numbers were the dates that people would die. Unfortunately, she did not understand exactly what the numbers meant until the day her father’s accident. She could see a series of numbers above the foreheads of each person she met, seen on TV, or in a photograph. Maddie Fynn has had a unique gift since before she could read and write.
