First-time poster here.
This is a book I remember from when I was 10-12, which would have been 2003-2005ish. It’s possible that it was later, but I remember it being around the mid 2000s.
The premise of the book was that children (maybe just people in general but I remember it being children) begin developing mysterious powers, mostly psychic, around the world. I believe that these people feel a “calling” to a specific spot in the world and all begin traveling there and meeting up.
I distinctly remember there being some sort of beast from outer space (I think a gigantic snake) traveling into the solar system and towards Earth. I remember this being why the children start developing the powers and gathering together. I don’t remember if the people are there to welcome this beast or to prevent it from destroying the planet.
I also distinctly remember a main character who was a young boy who developed psychic powers. I think he was bald and his skin had turned silver? He seemed to be a “chosen one” who was more powerful than others. This detail may be wrong though.
I don’t remember much else about the characters or plot, sorry!
I’ve casually searched for this book through the years but haven’t found anything through google, so if anyone has ideas I would appreciate it! Thanks!
