The idea of reading a book that has a psychic as the main protagonist can be quite thrilling. A psychic is someone who can foresee the future and read people’s minds, but whether or not he will use his supernatural powers for evil deeds or good deeds is what can be intriguing. The Twilight Series written by Stephanie Meyer, for instance, has many characters with psychic powers. Many of the “special gifts” that some of the vampires possess in this novel are psychic by nature. Whether it is Edward’s mind-reading abilities, Alice’s precognition, or Marcus’s ability to sense nature of relationships, there is enough evidence of psychic characters in this series.

Below are a bunch of novels in the Young Adults category that have their main characters as psychics. These six main characters are born with psychic powers and they must balance these with their high school lives. Their lives are challenging in many ways in an effort to juggle between these two and readers find that very exciting.

1. The first of these interesting fictional characters is Jessica in the Safe House. She is struck by lightning and the 16-year old acquires the power to visualize the image of a missing child. She starts to dream about such missing children and their possible whereabouts.

2. Chloe Saunders is the protagonist in “The Summoning”, and she can see dead people like Cole in award-winning Hollywood movie, The Sixth Sense.
