Description
Twelve-year-old Christopher Lane has lost all confidence. His teachers think he's a liar and a thief, and his mum is too tired to deal with him. But when the Ministry of Education arrives at his doorstep, everything changes. They invite Chris to attend Myers Holt Academy, a prestigious school that might just hold the key to unlocking his true potential. At Myers Holt, Chris discovers that age twelve is a special time for the human brain - it's capable of remarkable feats. He soon realizes he's not alone in this newfound ability. His classmates, Ernest and Mortimer Genver, are also testing the boundaries of their minds, driven by a mysterious force. As Chris navigates his new school, he must confront the consequences of their experiments - or risk losing everything. As Chris faces these challenges, his life hangs in the balance. Will he be able to find his place at Myers Holt and control his extraordinary abilities, or will they tear him apart?
