The Hypnotists

By Gordon Korman

What if you could make someone do anything without knowing how you’re doing it? What if, no matter how hard you tried to get rid of your ability, and become an average person, you couldn’t? Jackson Opus has that problem. He’s a Hypnotist.

Jax Opus was always a little different. He has these…. visions. It was as though he could see himself from another person’s eyes. And when these visions happen, Jax can make them do anything. He did not know what was wrong with him. Till a seventh-grade field trip changed everything.

Accepted into a prestigious academy of hypnosis, Jax is armed with the knowledge he is more than different, he’s special. Jax can do incredible things. But when something’s incredible, people want to use that power. Whether the cause is just is the question. Because sometimes, being special is the most dangerous thing of all.

In the thrilling first book of the Hypnotists series, Gordon Korman tries to understand the lengths some people will go to gain power, and the danger they create. A perfect 5/5 stars, I recommend this book to anyone who wants to laugh, cry and feel everything in between.

The Dragonfly Effect

Hey, bookworms! I know it’s been a while! But here’s my latest book review about a hypnotist who is discovering what a dangerous. yet vulnerable place our world can be.

When you can control people’s minds, you can control the world.

What would happen, if you could control someone’s mind? What would happen if you could make someone do anything? If you want that A, just hypnotize your teacher. Don’t want to pay for your newest books? Well, too bad for the bookkeeper, because he just lost some books! But imagine that on a mass scale. Imagine if you could hypnotize a whole town to just stop moving. They wouldn’t be able to eat, sleep, or drink. This story not only explores Jax’s journey to save his world with the one gift he never wanted, but also the lengths some will go to reach something they have wanted their whole life. In this thrilling finale to Gordon Korman’s brilliant book series, Jackson Opus is forced to learn a truth he never wanted to.

You can’t save everyone.

Another masterpiece by Gordon Korman, all you bookworms out there who have not yet read the Hypnotist series, start reading! Your world’s about to get a little more supernatural.
