or one of the other books from the series, maybe? http://www.goodreads.com/series/64313...
How long ago did you read this book? What did the children do with their power? Something dramatic like defeat a villain? Or, did the book follow their day-to-day life living with these powers?
Read it a few years ago. I only remember two of the characters. I believe there were five.. the book followed their day-to-day life.
the painful baths made me think another Faust by Daniel nayeri
Kena, how long ago was "a few years ago?" Around 5, 10, or more?A timeframe will help in pinning down when the book was published.

And can I just say--the blurb sure seems like it could be it.

I think this is the second time I solved a thread with this book

Basically this is what I can remember about it:
The book is about a group of orphans, they were adopted and put into the same house because they all possessed some form of "power"
I can remember two of the characters.
One of the girls has the ability to pause time. She does this to gain knowledge and is very smart beyond her years ( at the end of the book this backfires on her since she ages very rapidly to make up for all the time she spent reading when the time was paused)
The other is very, vain. In order for her to capture the attention of the boy she likes, she has to take painful baths in order to gain the sort of trait she wishes to possess.
If anyone has an idea of how I could find the title, or if you know the title. I would be very appreciative. Been searching for years and no real results.
