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.

I loved how the characters were age-appropriate and yet a little more sophisticated than I thought 12 year olds could be. It was a wonderful book and I can't wait to read the next one.

best book of my year

A band of disabled people with superpowers sounded interesting. I expected a Goonies-type story of friends on an adventure. The Ables throws some high stakes and wild action at you that keeps you eager to know what happens next.

If you'll excuse me, I'm off to listen to book 2.

Eric did a wonderful job reading the story, it was gripping and I was able to differentiate between different characters easily, it was clearly a better investment in time through an audiobook then through the book itself. I mean there are a few bits here and there about the story that could use some sense of closure but it’s great, can’t wait till I get to strings.

Invigorating story and wonderfully read

Jeremy Scott's debut novel "The Ables" surprised me because I found myself thoroughly entertained by a genre I seldom read--fantasy. I saw this as a mashup between Harry Potter, The Incredibles, and the X-Men. Scott created a rip-roaring adventure that had me listening for stretches at a time. But here he adds a twist--the heroes are boys not only with various disabilities but with various powers. He displays disability sensitivity and humor. One of my favorite scenes is when the crime-fighting boys with disabilities choose not to use their powers but call the police on an able-bodied person parking in the handicapped parking zone. Scott had me laughing and listening for more. I highly recommend this book and may pick up books two and three. Jeremy Scott is a stunning new talent.

A Surprising Debut

Having disabilities myself I appreciate the fresh perspective the author takes. The focus on doing the best you can with what you got is relatable to everyone.

Excellent fresh new perspective on the Hero genre.

Excellent especially for my kid who is not quite nuero typical. This would be a good book for any child who has a disability of any kind. It is about resilience and facing difficulties. I loved it as well!

Fantastic!

a little too derivative of Harry Potter but a fun take on a familiar premise, gets me in the mood for the next season of my hero academia also
