Wunderkind hypnotist Jackson Opus and his family are trying to lay low in the wake of Dr. Elias Mako's election-tampering campaign. Jax's burgeoning mesmeric gifts draw unwanted attention, especially after an elderly billionaire hires Jax to prolong his life using a dangerous hypnotism technique.

Hypnotists series.
When twelve-year-old Jackson Opus discovers that he's a hypnotist, he thinks his new ability is pretty cool. After the director of the shady Sentia Institute discovers that Jax's mind control powers are uniquely strong, however, Jax finds himself caught in the middle of a dangerous conspiracy. The mixture of humor, fast-paced action, and suspense adds up to solid, engaging middle-grade fare.
