Emily can see into the future but she's not sure about what she's seeing, is it real? Is it soon? They've caused her nothing but trouble and a stint on some medication. However the Gifted students are disappearing and she has to do something to help.

It's not a bad story, you can see where the sequence is leading somewhere by slowly introducing the students and what they can do. Kinda curious, more because I picked up a later book in the series at some stage and I'm looking at reaching it. Emily is an interesting character, Amanda is still a bitch. ( )

This book is about a girl who can see right into the future. Once when she was six she saw that her dad was going to be hit by a car. Well she didn't tell her dad and now he is gone. She was trying to see her vision more clearly. Like Ms. Madame said. She is the teatcher of the Gifted class. So she like helps them to be more better w/ their gifts.

You should read these books because they are really good and they are filled with surprises. They could even make a movie out of these. That would be awesome. You should also read them beacause you can not only learn from them. You can also have some laughs. Yes some of them are really good and have some funny parts.

Emily's gift is seeing the future. But she does not think much of this gift. She see things but does not know when they are going to happen. She sees things that never seem to happen. But her visions of other members of the Gifted class disappearing are very real. And soon she will be added to the missing.

I really enjoy this series. It is fast and fun. In this third book in the series the group starts to organize. Now if we just knew what their mysterious teacher, Madame, seems to know. This is a really good series for tweens or teens. ( )

This is the third book in the Gifted series. This time, the book focuses more on Emily. Emily can see the future but she never knows when that event is going to happen. Emily then visions that her friends are kidnapped. Emily goes to find them and she realizes that the people who kidnapped them know about their powers. Emily is worried now, the kidnappers will surely make them do some dangerous acts. Emily's friend, Jenna, who wasn't kidnapped, gets Ken, the jock and Charles, who has telekinisis, to save Emily and the rest of the gifted class. They succeed but one kidnapper, the smarter one, gets away. But for now, the gifted children are safe.
This book was not as good as the second or first one. There wasn't a lot of things going on in the book. Marilyn Kaye seemed to write down everything that came to her head. But Emily seemed more quiet than she usually is in the other books. This is only the third book. There are suppose to be six more. I hope that people who are interested in things like special powers, can read this series. ( )

Life is difficult for thirteen-year-old Emily. Not only are her visions consistently fuzzy, but her mother doesn't believe that she even has them.

Add this to the fact that her latest visions show people in her Gifted class at school going missing, and you've got a heap of trouble. So when these visions start to actually come true, she's not sure what to do.

Suddenly, the opportunity to save her friends presents itself. Will she rise to the challenge and free them, or get so caught up in the mess that she ends up bringing everyone down with her?

HERE TODAY, GONE TOMORROW was a great look into a supernatural world where not everything is perfect and nothing happens the same way twice. I liked how Emily's powers weren't always helpful, as it seemed to make her more of an everyday person. Her visions sometimes didn't happen the way she sees them, or even at all, which adds mystery to the story - will her vision come true or not?

I will be interested to read the rest of the GIFTED series and learn about all of the other characters! ( )
