Gr 4–6—Jax Opus, tweenaged mind-bender is back in a third high-stakes adventure. His unusual ability to hypnotize anyone has caught the attention of the U.S. government and he's now working with the top-secret Hypnotic Warfare Research Department. Though the evil Dr. Elias Mako is in jail, Jax soon discovers that he may have other, even more dangerous enemies. A likable protagonist, dashes of humor, and a gripping pace make "The Hypnotists" a great pick for fans of contemporary action/adventure series.
Gifted hypnotist Jackson Opus isn't keen on participating in military experiments, but it's the only way to keep his family safe from Dr. Elias Mako. When Mako breaks out of jail and uses another wunderkind hypnotist to implement a world-destroying plan, Jax heads to New York to stop his former mentor. Korman's suspenseful series will continue to have magnetic draw for tween boys.
