Who I'd recommend it to: Fans of Molly Moon and Masterminds
Synopsis (from Amazon):The government has promised to protect Jax Opus and his family from enemies that want to use his hypnotic power to bring more evil into the world. Jax has reluctantly agreed to be protected. But protection has its price -- and soon Jax learns that if the government is going to help him, it's going to want some help in return.
The reach of Jax's hypnotic talents is especially dangerous because he doesn't have to be looking at people directly to control them. No, he can hypnotize people through video broadcasts -- so a person can be innocently checking a computer, and suddenly have a hypnotic message planted.
Even worse? Jax is not the only person who can do this. He is up against a hypnotic mastermind who has more than a few tricks up his sleeve.

Thoughts: This book is a High Five. I adored this book and the way Gordon Korman made the big mystery disappear under so many small questions, such as "will they make it in time," "will they be caught," "will they escape" and so on. I also loved all the characters and how Gordon Korman made their personalities stronger for the last book. I also loved how he added a new character that for once Jax can't hypnotise and that can hypnotise through videos, like Jax. One more thing I loved is how the plot line wrapped the entire series up and connected all the loose ends. Overall, I cherished this series and this book and I think this book is a high five.
