He has been kicked out of another school and has now been sent to Edgeview Alternative School, where the only thing that doesn't change about class is that it is always changing.

    <body><![CDATA[One of my favorite books!  It has a great story about a boy who finds himself at a new school with a bunch of juvenile delinquents.  He shows them that they each have psychic powers.  They work together to master the powers and save the school! It is a really great book! ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A true misfits tale with all the qualities loved of the X-men and other action comic characters.  With their hidden talents come the curses of being labeled as difficult teens and being sent to the community Alternative School.  Recommended for ages 11 &amp; up, this one is one to keep on the shelf.  ]]></body>
