This writing debut of a brother-and-sister duo is different than your normal story. Though the story does start out incredibly slow, it's still an interesting read, and was very different than how I would've thought this story would be.
Five children go missing one night and find themselves with extraordinary gifts such as beauty, mind-reading, or time-travel. Each with a different story and background.
I kind of wish that there were less characters in this book because some of them seemed to lag the story, but then again some of those characters did serve a great purpose as either the hero or antagonist. My only other problem was that the climax of the story was near the end, and during that scene there's hardly any action. The action builds up and then... Poof! Gone. I did like the ending very much even though it wasn't an ending in which we know exactly what happens, but one that tells you what happens and yet leaves you wondering what goes on next leaving your imagination and creativity to figure it out.
