Why I picked it up?

Nothing to See Here
Why I picked it up? I found this book on a friend’s bookshelf. She has a great collection of second hand books that is always worth a look when I stay. The cover certainly caught my eye. Turns out that Nothing to See Here is about two kids who catch on fire when they are stressed or angry.
