Dancia Lewis is far from popular. And that's not just because of her average grades or her less-than-glamorous wardrobe. In fact, Dancia's mediocrity is a welcome cover for her secret: whenever she sees a person threatening someone she cares about, things just...happen. Cars skid. Structures collapse... When recruiters from the prestigious Delcroix Academy show up in her living room to offer her a full scholarship, Dancia's days of living under the radar may be over... But not even Dancia could have imagined what awaits her behind the gates of Delcroix Academy. -from Goodreads

I like fire on covers. It's so mesmerizing. One of my favorite fire covers is Betrayal by Gillian Shields.
