The Knowing by Sharon Cameron - ESSENTIAL

Cameron, Sharon The Knowing (The Forgetting #2), 448 pages.  Scholastic, 2017.  $19.  Language: G; Mature Content: PG (lots of kissing); Violence: PG (some fighting).

Since her brother died, Samara has been discontented with her life as one of the Knowing.  With the help of her Outsider maid, Samara has been venturing outside.  But the day comes when she realizes that someone knows about her adventures and her life is now in danger.  Beckett has travelled across the universe with she scientist parents and a large crew of space farers.  He is doing a bit of minor exploring with his partner, Joanna, when a bad accident puts them out of range of help from the ship.  When Samara and Beckett meet, each with their life-altering secrets, more than one world will be affected. 

I am not sure how this connects with the first book in the series.  I am not even going to try to speculate.  Either book could be read as a stand alone, but I have a feeling that the third book will bring everything together nicely.  The concept of Knowing and the secrets that everyone involved are keep make for a reading treat.
