Spoonbenders
by Daryl Gregory
This was such a fun book. It features three generations of the Telemachus family and each has a unique psychic ability. Astral projection, lie detection, telekinesis, and time travel are both positive forces and huge burdens. Mixed with a snafu with the Chicago mob, a skeptic trying to sabotage the family's fame, and an online romance, this book highlights the adventures of this often-dysfunctional family.
I love how fleshed out each of these characters are and how their stories connect with one another's. They seem incredibly realistic, despite having special powers. Plus, I always like reading books set in my old Chicagoland stomping grounds, so I get a little kick every time I read a passage about the grocery stores I went to and different suburbs...Overall, 4/5 stars
