Superhuman kids, a missing girl and a 1000-year-old mystery. The gripping adventure begins....

Finn's world is turned upside down when he and his older brother, John, are ripped from their normal lives and sent to Alyxa, an island school that doesn't appear on any map. As the unusual lessons at Alyxa begin, the brothers learn about their super-senses, but nothing can prepare them for the perils to come.

To conquer their fears, they must master their senses....

Book 1 Fin and John are taken to Alexya not knowing it is a school for students with special sences .Great story for young and old.
There is a slight problem of sound fading as if narrator moved away from mic but it does not disappear. Love the different character voices

Fin thinks he's been kidnapped

The main character was made to sound like he was winging with EVERY SINGLE WORD he spoke the ENTIRE time ... it was so unbearable! But the book itself was interesting and seems to show potential. some good twists and turns. but incredibly off putting narration. the school bully was given a really awful voice too.

Aweful Narration of Main Character But good story
