Very slight rubbing to the edges of the dustwrapper, otherwise in very good order. "The touch of her hands can heal. Or can it? Pinkie Proudfoot is only a child, but to some people she seems to have this extraordinary gift, so they set up the Foundation of Harmony to help to make use of it. But to Barry Evans, a 16-year-old who had struck up an odd friendship with Pinkie when they were both still at school, it seems that the foundation really exists to exploit Pinkie, and her gift, and the sick people who pay large fees to come there. When he learns what the foundation is doing to Pinkie, he decides that by hook or by crook he must get her out. But is that his only reason? Or does he too want to take Pinkie over in order to solve his own problem, a threat inside himself quite as dangerous as anything that he has to cope with in the "real" world?". -- dustwrapper blurb Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
