From Barnes & NobleWith powerful bloodlines on both sides of his family, Jackson Opus's hypnotist talents clearly originate in his genes. What is less clear, however, is how his special gifts can be used to protect those who loves and his homeland. An arresting new fantasy by Gordon Korman, whose dozens of books include two 39 Clues novels.
Publishers WeeklyThe fast-paced first volume in Korman's Hypnotists series introduces some historical conspiracies worthy of Dan Brown. In Korman's world, famous events from the Hindenberg disaster to the Lewis and Clark expedition were influenced by hypnotists, people with a genetic gift that allows them to control others' minds. Twelve-year-old Jackson "Jax" Opus is starting to notice that people sometimes do what he says without thinking about it, and that he has strange visions when this happens.
