The Ability

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Iacopo Bruno. School is abysmal and home is worse for twelve-year-old Chris Lane. Then he wins entrance to a special British-government-run school. Located deep underground, the fantastically appointed school helps Chris and his classmates hone abilities like telekinesis and telepathy, which peak during a person's thirteenth year. This thoughtful novel's plot pivots on saving the prime minister's life, but further adventures are promised.
