True Talents

As you may already know, True Talents is the sequence of Hidden Talents written by David Lubar. Unfortunately, I chose to read True talents without reading Hidden Talents without knowing. Supposedly, in the first book in Hidden Talents, there are a bunch of kid that are been bullied a lot, at the end, they figure out that they are not regular kids but they each have special abilities. One of the kids are Trash which can move things with his mind, Torchie can start fire with his mind, Cheater can read minds, Lucky finds lost objects, Flinch can predict the future and Martin can see into people’s souls. Sadly, this kids got kicked from their schools for vary reasons, for example, Cheater was kicked because the teachers would think he cheated for getting such grades. At the end, they all end up attending the same school and there, they trained their skills. At the end, they had to close the school, so this group of friends decided to save the school with their own special individual talents. If you wish to what happens, then I suggest you to read it.

            Luckily, I did not read Hidden Talents or else, I would fail in this assignment due to the lack of information that the previous paragraph had. The book I read was True Talents, the sequel to the short summary I wrote about above. In this book, these teenagers are not in school anymore but at home with their families separated from the other talented friends. The beginning of the book is very confusing because it talks about Trash waking up on a type of laboratory without knowing where he is or why he is even there. There he goes through a variety of tests to see his special ability to move objects with his mind. He is told to move many objects like a piece of marble in the beginning but even thou he tried the hardest he could after been confused, he could not lifted. It is hard for him to do so, especially when he is been forced to. Throughout the book, he is been told to lift things up with his mind but not only that, but he is also given lots of medicine that he refuses to consume but ends up taking it. This medicines cause him to relax as well as making him confuse. It is blurry and confusing why he ended up there but throw-out the book, you discover that he was discovered when he was practicing his powers in the bank, when accidentally, he had stolen some money. He then, was kidnapped by an organization that is testing him to see how his powers work. He cannot escape but luckily, he has 5 other friends who are willing to do anything to reunite after a long time. Here is when the story gets exiting, when the 5 teenagers start figuring out how to take one of their friends out of there risking their own freedom for a friend and the chance to reunite once again.

            Hoped you enjoyed the summary and if you would like to know if they actually rescue Trash, read the book. Thanks.
