“
Linh grinned. “I think I need to get Happy Shadow Thoughts embroidered on a tunic for you- with a bunch of smiley faces.”
“I definitely think I need to see him wear that,” Sophie agreed. “Especially if it’s pink.”
“Hot pink,” Linh decided. “With sparkly letters.”
“And it should say Angry echoes-beware! on the back!” Sophie added.

“
Hang on – what are you wearing?” Keefe asked as she threw back her covers, revealing the sparkly slogans on her tunic. “Is that a Bangs Boy reference? Because you know I haven’t let him into the Foster Fan Club, right?”
Sophie rolled her eyes. “It’s an inside joke – and Linh made this for me.”
”Yeah, well, it still breaks the fan club rules. As penance, I’m giving you a tunic that says, ‘Empaths Give Me All the Feels,” and I expect to see you wear it twice as much as Bang Boys.

Tam's shadow fell over hers, and he shadow-whispered, "I'm trusting you. I don't care about me, but if something happens to Linh..."
'I promise, we're only trying to help,' Sophie transmitted.
Keefe let out a sigh that sounded more like a groan. "And I thought secret Telepath conversations were the worst. Just so we're clear," he told Tam. "I'M the president of the Foster fan club. And we're closed to new members."
Tam's cheeks flushed. "Uh...not sure what that's about but...no worries there--no offense!" he told Sophie.
She noticed he stole a quick glance at Biana after he said it.
Sophie couldn't decide if she should feel relieved or insulted.

Linh peeked her head over his shoulder. “This is fun! I never get to see Tam blush!”
She pinched her brothers cheeks, and Tam rolled his eyes and stalked into the Healing Center, with Linh giggling right behind him.

“
No wonder he and my brother don’t get along,” Linh said. “They’re basically the same person.” Practically on cue, Tam shouted from the bathroom above, “Dude – this guy uses more hair products than I do!

“
You can’t change who you are, or who your family is,” Tam told her. “Believe me—if I could, I would. All you can do is make sure you’re living by what you believe in.

His shadow slipped over hers again, and she could almost feel his eyes studying her. "You're different," his voice whispered. "I can't decide if that's a good thing."
'It is', she transmitted, surprised at how much she wanted him to believe her.
He walked away without another word.

“
Ugh, don’t even get me started,” Tam grumbled. “Our real family name is supposed to be Tong. But my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandmother started calling herself Lady Song, and when she registered her daughter, she put that as the surname—and it’s been passed down ever since.

“
I still have a few friends in the Lost Cities.' Sophie debated a second before adding, 'I hope I have a couple here, too.'
'You already have the four you came with,' Tam reminded her. 'Do you really have room for more?'
'Can you have too many friends?' she asked.
He was silent for a long time. Then he whispered, 'I wouldn't know.

Žmogus palengva virto fantastišku gyvuliu, turinčiu vykdyti vieną egzistencijos sąlygą labiau negu visi kiti gyvuliai: žmogus privalo tam tikrais laiko tarpais manyti, kodėl gyvena; jo giminė kaip rūšis negali sėkmingai gyvuoti be periodiško pasitikėjimo gyvenimu!

The Incredible String Band were the most multi-faceted group in British popular music, and this book attempts to mirror this. Yes, there is stuff about dates and albums and personnel changes, but you’ll also find articles about their experiments with dance, film, theatre and lifestyles. Their music was always intertwined with the places they lived in, from Sixties Edinburgh to West Wales to the Scottish Borders, and these are all featured here.
Their songs ranged from early folk-club whimsy to the material on, say, 5000 Spirits or Wee Tam And The Big Huge which, as Rowan Williams says, demanded an intimidating literacy to pick up all the allusions. The range of their musical palette was striking, too.
