OK, this is just phenomenal:
Blind and deaf since contracting a fever at the age of two, Helen was eventually taught to communicate by Anne Sullivan. She was accepted to Radcliffe University (now a part of Harvard) in 1900. When we pick up our story, Helen is a sophomore in college, enjoying the rigors of University life and her budding fame as a lecturer and author.
What the public doesn't know is that she has secretly agreed to test a device developed by her lifelong friend and mentor Alexander Graham Bell, which allows the blind and deaf to see and hear. The device is a success, however along with restoring Helen's lost senses, when the device is active she is endowed with superhuman strength and agility. In addition, she can see into a man's soul and determine if he intends to commit violence. When her abilities come to the attention of the secret service, Helen is enlisted by the Secret Service to protect President McKinley from assassination by Anarchists. Fearless and patriotic, Helen quickly signs on for the mission.
But the true danger may come from within Helen herself. The black secret of the Omnicle is while it does grant Helen with amazing powers, it also increases her rage and violent tendencies. If unchecked, Helen could become a danger to those around her. Her struggle to maintain control is at the heart of her journey. With or without her enhanced powers, Helen is an amazing young woman, beautiful, intelligent, brave and funny.
True genius, brought to my attention at Chris's Invincible Super Blog.
But even better were the google results for "Helen Killer." There's already a band with the name.
And this book report (?) must have made some teacher smile (or take another drink):
I am reading a book an Helen Killer. She is a spokes person that is blind and can not hear. When she was little she had a totour and she taught her everything. She taught her how to read the alphatbet. But she had to rub her finger of acouple of bumbs. As she grow up she learned more and more. One day her and her totour went to get a ale of water and Helen spoke her first word, “water”. Soon Helen became a world wide speaker and got to meet alot of people around the world.
I think that you should go to your public libray and check out te book “Helen Killer”.
Not the only time that typo has occurred.
