Reviewed by Oscar Rating: High Five Who I'd Recommend to: Fans of Mastermind and Molly Moon Synopsis (from Amazon): Jackson Opus has always been persuasive, but he doesn't know that he's descended from the two most powerful hypnotist bloodlines on the planet. He's excited to be accepted into a special program at the Sentia Institute -- but when he realizes he's in over his head, Jackson will have to find a way to use his powers to save his friends, his parents, and his government. |
I loved, loved, loved this book. The story is so creative, using a cliche plot and elaborating to create this amazing book. The characters were also very interesting and creative. I thought that the way that Gordon Korman, the author, had two contradicting points: Dr. Elias Mako's side of the hypnotic world, and the leader of the Sandmen's Guild, Axel Braintree. Overall, I loved, loved, loved this book by one of my favorite authors, Gordon Korman, and it is definitely a high five.
