A review by amylandranch
The Hadley Academy for the Improbably Gifted by Conor Grennan

4.0

I love finding a book in the science fiction genre that is exciting, funny, has good writing and does not contain one swear. Jack is in 8th grade and is sitting through an embarrassing conspiracy theory report by his friend Freddy. A few minutes later Jack finds himself part of this strange report when some reapers try to kill him and he is portaled to the Hadley School. Teens there have found their power or gift and are fighting against the evil in the world. There are twists and turns in the plot that will keep you guessing. I enjoyed the team relationships and how they supported each other. There is some violence. 6th grade and up, for fans of science fiction and super power type books.
