![]() ![]() His mother pays little attention to him, and he has grown up feeling unwanted. I will be looking forward to the next installment! ( A Reader of Fictions) ![]() It's a great choice for those who enjoyed Trenton Lee Stewart's The Mysterious Benedict Society, as well as Harry Potter. ![]() The Ability is a great read for more mature middle graders. Reminiscent of early Harry Potter novels with its neglected hero, oddball teachers, eccentric assortment of classmates, and secret school where students learn to harness their powers, the novel still manages ultimately to feel fresh and original, and the narrative strikes a delicate balance between light-hearted wish-fulfillment, fun, dark moments of heartbreak, and genuine suspense…Those looking for a read-alike to Stewart’s The Mysterious Benedict Society will be delighted with Christopher’s adventure. This book is great for anyone, young or old. It is like Harry Potter for the next generation. There is not a dry spot in this book, no page that I had read twice to understand it. I knew there would be one because there was a cliff hanger ending. Luckily, there is a sequel coming soon, Mindscape. ![]() It has lots of action, suspense, mystery, and some comedy, as well. “A brilliantly crafted tale, from the quality of the writing to the twistiness of the plot and the complexity of the real-life issues the characters are dealing with… A thrilling, touching, thought-provoking read.” (Common Sense Media) ![]()
