Synopsis

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. 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.

Read all reviews on [URL not allowed] I wanted to like this book so bad! I'm a big fan of the YouTube Channel CinemaSins and when I heard the voice behind it had written a book, I thought that was right into my alley. When I got an eARC of the book, I was very happy! Jokingly I tol......more

Goodreads review by Heather on July 07, 2015

I liked this book, I really did, and I don't want to sound like some sort of femma-nazi, BUT... ...Where in the hell are the female characters? No joke, this book is 100%, straight up Sausage Fest. And the reason I have such a problem with that, is because there is absolutely no reason why it needs to......more

As a big fan of his, I was excited to see how he would turn his hand to writing; add an interesting premise that seemed straight down my street, and I was in. Unfortunately, I was disappointed.
