The Hypnotists

The Hypnotists is a fiction book by Gordon Korman. Jax is just an ordinary boy until he discovers something. He has the ability to hypnotize people. An organization led by Dr. Elias Mako finds out about Jax’s powers. They tell Jax and his parents that they will help him to control his powers. Dr. Mako is actually trying to take over the country by using hypnotic powers to control a candidate running for president.  Jax is tangled up in the plot to take over the country. He can hypnotize people through a screen! Can Jax defeat Mako and put an end to all of this? This story was amazing because the storyline just flowed perfectly. It is a bit sad in some ways, but the author still makes it an enjoyable story to read. -Sam
