Amazing girl named Ashlyn Blocker lives in the U.S. city of Patterson. She is an ordinary-looking 13-year-old child, going to school, studying music, but there is one thing.

She can feel warmth and coolness, but not the more extreme temperatures that would cause anyone else to recoil in pain. At school, she was once asked if she was Superman. There was the time she broke her ankle and ran around on it for two days before her parents realized something was wrong.

Watch out for falling cannonballs. What you are about to see is a cannonball tree. They only grow in the Caribbean and if you are hit by one of its falling cannon balls you can die. Couroupita guianensis, whose common names include Ayahuma and the Cannonball Tree, is an evergreen tree allied to the Brazil Nut (Bertholletia excelsa), and is native to tropical northern South America and to the southern Caribbean.
