Friday Memes: The Hypnotists by Gordon Korman

Posted by Kathy Martin at 6:30 AM
Happy Friday everybody!!
Book Beginnings on Friday is now hosted by Rose City Reader. The Friday 56 is hosted at Freda's Voice. Check out the links above for the rules and for the posts of the participants each week. Don’t dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.

Beginning:
There was something evil about the Third Avenue bus. 
Friday 56:
Learning you had mesmeric powers was one thing. Actually using them turned out to be quite another. 
This week I dug deep into my TBR pile for The Hypnotists by Gordon Korman. I bought this one at a school Book Fair in 2013. Here is the description from Amazon:
An all-new, mesmerizing adventure from the masterful Gordon Korman!

Jackson Opus has always been persuasive, but he doesn't know that he's descended from the two most powerful hypnotist bloodlines on the planet. He's excited to be accepted into a special program at the Sentia Institute -- but when he realizes he's in over his head, Jackson will have to find a way to use his powers to save his friends, his parents, and his government.

    I like that beginning! This one sounds interesting. Hope you enjoy it! Hypnotism is always intriguing. I was hypnotized once and definitely would not want to repeat the experience!
