Bookroo's summary

Clara's life flips when she gains the ability to hear boys' thoughts after a wish on a family heirloom. As she navigates the chaos of her newfound ESP, she grapples with past betrayals, potential moves from O‘ahu to Arizona, and the complexities of friendship. Can Clara use her powers to mend her life, or will they only create more turmoil? Amidst the noise, she must decide what truly makes a home and if she's ready to leave hers behind. Dive into Clara's magical journey of self-discovery and the tangled web of teenage emotions.

From the publisher

A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard SelectionPerfect for fans of Debbi Michiko Florence and Lisa Greenwald, Clairboyance’s heartfelt and sweet coming of age story with a touch of magic follows Clara as her life is turned upside down when she discovers that she has boy-specific ESP abilities.After accidentally wishing on a family heirloom to hear what boys are thinking, Clara wakes up the next day able to do just that. Every idea, every worry, every generous or petty thought crossing their minds–somehow, they now form a chorus of voices in hers.But why couldn’t her newfound powers have arrived sooner? Then, maybe, she could have stopped her ex-best friend Leo from betraying her and ditching her for the more popular kids. At least her dad is open to the idea of moving her off O’ahu and out to Arizona to be with him.If Clara can use what she hears to solve her problems, then her powers might just be able to make up for lost time–but instead, she ends up making a bigger mess of everything. While scrambling to fix her mistakes, Clara must question old friendships, enter into new ones, and try to figure out what makes a home, and if she is willing to leave hers behind.
