Publisher's Summary
I did have fantastic hearing, mostly by virtue of being blind. But that couldn't actually mean that he's trying to tell me I have super powers, right? Because that would be ridiculous.
It wasn't the "sex talk" he expected. Phillip Sallinger's dad has told him he's a custodian - a guardian - and his genetically inherited power is telekinesis. He'll learn to move objects with his mind. He's excited to begin superhero high school until he discovers he's assigned to a "special ed" class for disabled empowered kids; he suddenly feels like an outsider. Bullied, threatened, and betrayed, Phillip struggles, even as he and his friends - calling themselves the Ables - find ways to maximize their powers to overcome their disabilities, and are the first to identify the growing evil threatening humanity. As vital custodians disappear and the custodian leadership is mired in indecision, a mysterious and powerful figure taunts Phillip, and the enemy is poised to strike. But what if the next "one who does all," the multi-gifted custodian predicted to come, is one of the Ables?
The Ables is a fast-paced, captivating debut novel from Jeremy Scott, a bold, new voice in fantasy and science fiction.

World class story telling from internet smart ass
I've been a big fan of Jeremy Scott's work at CinemaSins since it's inception. And when he announced that he was publishing a book a couple years ago I should have bought it then at pre-order. But for some reason I didn't and now I regret it. I should have jumped forward and supported this creative person and I would have been happily surprised as this book kicks ass. Super heroes, kids, secret societies, the world in danger, it's got everything and a well honed sense for ironies and narrative. I'm looking forward to reading Strings and hope Scott continues with the work and cranks out a few more books AND that they get turned into A+ audio books.
