Farseekers
by Isobelle Carmody

Description:
The Farseekers continues the saga of Obernewtyn and its band of Misfits, children outcast from society because of their psychic abilities - and the story of their heroic leader, Elspeth Gordie, who alone carries the fate of the world on her shoulders." "Since their takeover of Obernewtyn, the secret community of Misfits has flourished, protected by its remoteness. Believing they have time to marshal new forces before the inevitable confrontation with the totalitarian Council, they work hard to develop their forbidden mental abilities. But in the midst of plans to rescue a powerful Misfit in a distant part of the Land, it is foreseen by a futureteller that the fate of Obernewtyn is inextricably bound up in their quest." "Led by Elspeth, whose extraordinary powers set her apart even among her Misfit friends, an expedition sets out to retrieve the unknown Misfit and perhaps gather information for their revolution. But for Elspeth there is yet another challenge, as she must fulfill her vow to find and dismantle the dormant death-weapons left by the Beforetimers.
