Don't be misled by the title and cover; this is no simple formula novel. It's about telekinesis and telepathy, but put away all ideas of Stephen King. The children who are assembled at the doctors for their special gifts have all suffered deep emotional hurts because of them. The young and apparently autistic Timmy 'can tell what everybody around him is thinking . . . he can't shut it out except by withdrawing completely.' At this level, where the extraordinary helps to reveal the ordinary in a special way, the book works well. Many readers will enjoy the excitement, too.
