Discover a captivating middle-grade mystery that weaves faith, friendship, and courage into an unforgettable adventure about discovering that our deepest fears don't have the last word.

Meet Annie: sophomore, new editor of the Centerville High newspaper, puzzle enthusiast, always on the move.

When she discovers her unique ability to see the invisible threads connecting people's relationships, she must overcome her deepest fears—including taking the stage in the school play—to uncover a sinister conspiracy threatening the Omnis, her fellow Sensates with special abilities. The second book in The Sensate Saga, Annie and the Mystery of the Missing Omnis continues the beloved series with familiar characters and deeper mysteries, picking up right where the adventure left off.

Join Annie, Oscar, and the Sensates as they learn how God empowers even the most anxious hearts to find courage, lean into friendship, and make a meaningful difference in others’ lives. Through Annie’s story, readers will see how God uses our unique gifts and personalities for his greater purpose—and how vulnerability, honesty, and faith can change everything.

Why middle-grade readers will love this book:

  • A mystery that keeps the pages turning with sinister conspiracies, hidden abilities, and a cast of characters worth rooting for
  • A relatable protagonist who wrestles with real fears and self-doubt, helping readers see how her struggles don’t disqualify her from doing extraordinary things
  • Examples of the kinds of loyal, honest friendships readers will want in their own life
  • A thoughtful look at how technology and social media shape the way we see ourselves

Perfect for fans of The Wingfeather Saga and The Sherlock Society, this engaging mystery demonstrates that with faith as our foundation, we can all leave a positive mark on the world around us.
