Will West is just an average kid, living as average a life one can when your parents move you around every year and encourage you to never excel at anything. All of that changes one day with the arrival of men in dark hats, an apparent brainwashing of his mother, the announcement that his test scores are so amazing he is invited to a posh private school in Wisconsin, and he finds out he can run faster than a car. Oh, and he is seeing an invisible pilot named Dave all over. While the book feels pretty draggy and repetitive for the first 150 pages or so, when Will arrives at his new school and home, the action picks up and doesn't stop. He meets other students like him, who secretly have awesome powers, and together they attempt to uncover the mystery of the men in dark hats, what happened to Will's parents, and what darkness is lurking at their very own school. The length and the slow beginning might deter some teens, but others are going to latch onto this.
