Thirteen-year-old Alex Opalstone is learning all about this through amazing dreams she has at night that lead her to the answers of the great mysteries of life. But even though she has the dream and already understands what much of it means, finding the meaning to the rest of the dream will take her on some unexpected adventures that bring her great friends but comes with the unfortunate results of attracting dangerous enemies. The dreams help Alex to learn of just one of her many potential abilities. The first power she learns of is the potential to see multiple worlds at once: The everyday world in which we all live and how it can be influenced for either good or evil by influences not usually seen with physical sight and she sees the bright and often unseen world of heaven’s blessed influence along with the opposing darker world that works to interfere to try and prevent heaven’s blessings. She sees life as heaven sees it. Because of her bully of an older brother, Dex, she knows all too well what it's like to suffer. But Alex turns her experience for good by learning to have compassion for those who suffer. When Alex was younger, she would use an old window frame to imagine the view heaven has of life and how God's angels bless us in our times of need. But after several years pass without her using the old frame, she has several surreal dreams at night that use the window to teach her about the purpose of life in heaven's view and of her own potential for good. She learns that she can tap into something beyond this world to work within her to give her strength and abilities to do good and help others through powers that are not available by her own efforts alone. Some would call such abilities "superhuman." When Alex must move away to live with relatives that will keep her safe from her bully of a brother, she attends a new school, makes new friends and learns of the school’s charitable fund-raising contest. It's a chance for students to create a way to sell something to raise money to be donated to a good cause.As her new friends, Leena and Julio, join her to help win the contest as a team, their friendship brings about exciting adventures and even a few near catastrophes through funny yet often innocent mistakes along the way. When an older woman, billionaire Linda Wise, agrees to coach Alex and her team along towards success, her extra help begins to attract unexpected enemies for Linda and Alex.When Linda isn't helping Alex, Linda works on solving a great mystery she discovered unexpectedly about her deceased father. Her father was doing research on a mysterious scroll that reveals teachings of Christ to shine a great light and answer the great questions of life such as how to find lasting happiness and know who we are, why we are living here and where we all go after death.But where is the scroll now and how did her father learn of it? How will Alex's dreams confirm many of these answers? And what is in the scroll’s lessons that will prove that the "superhuman" abilities Alex may have within herself are one of the greatest gifts anyone can receive? And is there a way for others to have the same gift and powers Alex discovers? An inspiring story that merges with a humorous, laugh-out-loud funny style, the story of Alex Opalstone is set to rival other bestsellers of the past. Come along for an adventure that is out of this world in its ability to amaze and inspire while showing that the realities of life are often far greater than we imagine and that each of us has the potential to unlock heaven's powers within us to shine brightly for good in ways that will take us far beyond where we thought we could go.
