TheSecret Hour: Midnighters Vol. 1
 Scott Westerfeld

Funny thing about Rex, class dweeb: When he wears his glasses, some things go blurry, instead of clear. And when he takes them off, and the whole world goes soft-focus, some things; special things, jump right out.

When Rex sees the new girl, after he's just been pounded by the local bullies, he's not wearing his glasses.

"He nodded. As she walked away, Rex pulled off his glasses again, and again she jumped into clarity as the rest of the world became a blur.

Rex finally allowed himself to believe it, and smiled. Another one, and from somewhere beyond Bixby, Oklahoma.

Maybe this year was going to be different."

The new girl, fifteen-year-old Jessica doesn't know it, but she's a midnighter. When the clock strikes twelve in her new hometown, for one secret hour, everyone in freezes but her, and the other midnighters, like Rex.

Jessica's about to find out though.

Because the creatures in the Midnight Hour are coming looking for her.

Find out what happens in: The Secret Hour, book 1 of the Midnighters by Scott Westerfeld.
