Rating: High Five
Who I'd recommend it to: Fans of Molly moon and Master Mind
Synopsis (from Amazon): Jax Opus knows he's not like other kids. And it isn't his skill on the basketball court or his test scores that set him apart. No, Jax is different because he can hypnotize people. In fact, he might be the best hypnotist the world has seen in a very long time.
You would think Jax would be happy about this. But really? It's ruining his life. He and his family are hiding from a master hypnotist who wants Jax out of the picture . . . forever. And the FBI is also starting to ask questions about Jax and his abilities.
Jax thinks life might be getting a little better when a very rich, very powerful man asks him to help out with something. The reward will be great. And the price -- well, the price is that Jax starts taking on the man's memories. And some of them are pretty deadly.

Thoughts: This book is for sure a high five. I adored this book because the author Gordon Korman added new and exciting twists, such as when (Spoiler) Jax went back to the Sentia Institute and found out that Liam is a make-believe person that Jax hypnotized himself into believing. Also, I loved all the characters such as Jax, Axel, Dr. Mako and more. Another thing I loved about this book is the new character, Quackenbush - a billionare war veteran. One of my favorite things about this book was the plot. I loved how Gordon Korman made subplots on subplots in this story. All in all, I think this book should definitely get a high five.
