What a fantastic debut novel! I really can’t wait to read the rest of this series. Atlantis has always been something I’ve found fascinating the whole basis of the mythology surrounding it... does it really exist, or is it a load of bull. I’ve read about it fictional literature and I have to say that I loved Hoover’s take on it!

At the start of summer, the farthest thing from Benjamin Holt’s mind is the possibility of summer school. However, it seems his plans are changed. Benjamin is not what you’d call a normal person; he and his best friend Andy have special powers that allow them to communicate silently and use telekinesis to play pranks. It turns out that Benjamin and Andy aren’t human; instead, they’re of a similar species called telegens. So these special abilities that set Benjamin apart from humans only makes h

Benjamin Holt has always been different from the kids in his class, besides his best friend, Andy, who also has the same "abilities" as Benjamin. Andy and Benjamin just don't get what's so weird about being able to read people's minds and making frogs in science class fly into girls' hair! When Benjamin sees his mom go through a picture and disappear into a speckle of light he's not that surprised, since his life is just a little weird More...

This is a fun book but definitely for young kids, lots 'whatever's' and kidsy attitude in it. Spoon fed plot line, easily achieved quests, one dimensional characters set in a clever and original secret world inside our world. Not meant for YA fans.

Great, fun, fantasy read-- fits into the Harry Potter, Percy Jackson category. The fantasy world of Lemuria, its mythology and history were all fairly well fleshed out. Characters likable, fast paced with enough mystery and adventure to keep the pages turning. Definitely left me ready to read the next book!

I loved it! It's fantasy for kids, but that's no reason adults can't enjoy it as well. There were surprises along the way, and there were enough questions left unanswered to make me ready to read the second book. Definitely a good one to read with the kids!

What a fun book by a local Austin author! I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoyed the Harry Potter, Gregor or Percy Jackson series.
