And she’s not interested in saving anyone. But while Chris is perfecting his talent, twin brothers Ernest and Mortimer are using their Ability to carry out the plan their mother has spent many years perfecting. Now Chris must learn to use this power, his Ability, to make the world a safer place. So it comes as a shock to everyone, not least Chris himself, when he wins a place at an exclusive academy after a very unusual interview.įor it turns out Chris does have a natural gift for one thing - something that every child can do during their twelfth year, though few will ever find out. But Christopher Lane’s talents lie only in thieving and lying - or so he’s always been told. Some kids excel in art, others in sports or math. For, if nothing else, Dulcia Genever did teach her son one valuable lesson: Revenge is a dish best served cold.“Delve into the extraordinary abilities of the twelve-year-old mind in this thrilling start to a middle-grade series that expands the possibilities of power.” Yes, he will keep his promise-Christopher Lane will die-but not until he has watched Chris lose his mind waiting for Ernest to appear.
Meanwhile, alone in Darkwhisper Manor, Ernest Genever is enjoying watching Chris's torment. Chris's teachers are already concerned enough about him, especially when Chris starts to wonder if the boy may not be a figment of his imagination after all. But now that the threat of Dulcia Genever has been dealt with, his friends are too busy working for the police, entering the minds of some of the country's most dangerous criminals, to sympathize.
There is no escape from the guilt, not even on his return to Myers Holt-the secret London academy where he and five others are being trained to use their mental powers, their Ability. Telekinetic preteens use their powers for good-and evil-in this mind-bending sequel to The Ability, which Publishers Weekly called a "fast-paced, superhero-tinged spy novel." Everywhere that Christopher Lane turns, he sees the face of the boy he killed.
