Katie Welker is used to being alone. She would rather read a book than deal with other people. Other people don't have silver eyes. Other people can't make things move just by thinking about it!

But these special powers make Katie unusual, and it's hard to make friends when you're unusual. Katie knows that she's different, but she's never done anything to hurt anyone, so why is everyone afraid of her? Maybe there are other kids out there who have the same silver eyes... and the same talents... and maybe they'll be willing to help her.

!!Tropes present in ''The Girl with the Silver Eyes'' include:
* AlliterativeName: Jackson Jones, the paper boy.
* BadassBookworm: Katie is quiet and loves to read, but she's also telekinetic, and her powers are growing as she learns how to use them.
* BizarreBabyBoom: It only affects a small group, but a group of women [[spoiler:who try an experimental fertility drug]] give birth to children with silver eyes who have PsychicPowers.
* {{Bookworm}}: Katie prefers books to most people. And can you blame her?
* BrokenAesop: Despite the entire message of the story being that people can look different and still be accepted, most of the protagonists are not unattractive, unlike Mr. P. and Nathan, who are portrayed in a negative light. Then there's Mr. C., who started out as a handsome [[TooSmartForStrangers stranger]], [[spoiler: subverted when it begins to seem like he's trying to get Katie arrested and seems to further cement the aesop, but [[AssPull double subverted when it turns out]] [[TheReveal at the last moment]] [[AssPull he's actually a nice guy.]]]] Katie's disgust of her babysitters also seems to be based on their appearance.
* ChildHater: Mr. P., who loathes Katie and constantly avoids paying Jackson.
* CoolOldLady: Mrs. M., a neighbor in Katie's apartment complex, who she befriends.
* CrazyCatLady: Well, it's only one cat. His name is Lobo.
* CreepyChild: How Katie comes off to most adults. She's intelligent, quiet, and fairly antisocial, and has a habit of staring at people longer than they find comfortable.
* InformedAttribute: It's mentioned twice that Jackson is teased for his mismatched eyes, but this is never seen in action.
* LonersAreFreaks: Or at least considered such by disconcerted adults.
* MindOverMatter: Katie is telekinetic.
* MundaneUtility: Katie uses her powers to push her glasses up and turn off the lights from bed without effort.
* NerdGlasses: Katie's are huge, with thick rims.
* OvenLogic: Katie burns a meatloaf, attempting to cook it faster by moving the temperature up from 350 to 500.
* SpeaksFluentAnimal: Another one of Katie's gifts. She uses it to talk to Lobo.
* TechnicolorEyes: As a result of [[spoiler:an experimental drug, to which the mothers of the affected kids (including Katie) were exposed while pregnant. This caused them develop powers]]. Jackson Jones also has mismatched eyes, one blue, one green, though his are natural.
