The rest of the team have various skills that prove handy in their tasks, but she’s the only one has any kind of extra-ordinary abilities.
No one, or almost none of her team wants to be on it, but the shadow-y figure that calls the shots is forcing them all to be part of it (including Teagan - don’t get the idea that she wants to be some pk wielding super-hero/secret agent - she wants to work in a kitchen somewhere until she’s good enough to start her own restaurant). She’s part of a pseudo-governmental espionage team that acts a lot like judge and jury without bothering with the formalities. But for the initial plot all you need to know is what the title said. Teagan will slowly describe her abilities to us as she has opportunity - and eventually will spell out to someone where those abilities came from (surprisingly far from the beginning - which I appreciated).
She has psychokinetic abilities (not telekinetic, she’s touchy about that distinction) - or pk, as she calls is. Teagan Frost is our titular girl, and she…well can move sh…aving cream with her mind. If you’re amused and intrigued? Well, my friend, settle back and enjoy. If you’re amused and/or intrigued? You’ll be in for a good time. The same goes for the first few pages - if you’re not amused and/or intrigued by Teagan’s personality and narration within the first chapter, just stop and go find something else. If the title turns you off, don’t bother buying/borrowing this novel, you’re going to hate the experience.
The voice, the attitude and the defining characteristic of the protagonist (at least as most people are concerned) is all right there. Not unlike James Alan Gardner’s All Those Explosions Were Someone Else’s Fault from 2017, the title, The Girl Who Could Move Sh*t with Her Mind tells you all the important things about this book that you need to know before picking it up - although I think this book does a better job of following through with the tone of the title throughout the book.
