The List of Five

Today Richie finds out that he isn't like other kids... Young teen Richie Lyons is having an uneventful summer, playing games with his friends. He even has a birthday on the way. However, his uneventful life is shattered when he wakes up, on the morning of his thirteenth birthday, with a list of names pounding through his brain. A list that contains the names of those he cares about most. As if that wasn't enough, he keeps having a recurring waking dream of a fire that is threatening to take the life of his mom and sister. Richie must fight to understand this recurring list and the visions. Are they prophetic, foretelling an actual occurrence, or a waking nightmare threatening his sanity? In addition, what does the list have to do with the newest local ministry and the strange pastor who came to Richie's door? The more Richie discovers, the less he understands. When Richie finally begins to understand, it may be too late for himself and everyone else that he cares about. There is one thing Richie knows for certain. He may have to grow up much faster than he ever wanted to grow, because there is something very wrong with his visions, and there is something frightening about the list of five.
