For ages 10 and up, The Hadley Academy for the Improbably Gifted is a dystopian
fantasy novel that explores themes of sacrifice, darkness, and the power of friendship.
Jack Carlson is dreading a class presentation when he suddenly finds himself
transported to the Hadley Academy, a secret institution that tracks teens with unlikely
gifts and trains them to protect the world from a secret squad of killers. But Jack isn't
the only one who doesn't know what he's doing at Hadley. Despite indications that he
is the one prophesied to end the ancient Reaper War, Jack appears to have no
extraordinary abilities.
When dark, mysterious forces grow, Hadley is in a confused panic. Much to
everyone's dismay, humanity seems to depend on Jack and his new teammates. Can
Hadley's rawest recruits push past personal struggles and enormous doubts, develop
their dormant powers, and stop the spreading evil? And are they willing to commit to
Hadley's motto, "One Life for Many," and make the ultimate sacrifice?
This action-packed novel features a riveting plot, relatable characters, and humorous
dialogue that will captivate young readers. The diverse cast of characters will appeal
to a wide audience, including those who sometimes wonder what their gifts might be.
Each of the short chapters opens with a line drawing illustration.
The Hadley Academy for the Improbably Gifted is a great gift for young book lovers
as well as for those who need a highly entertaining book to strengthen their interest
in reading. Fans of the Hunger Games, the Chronicles of Narnia, Divergent, Maze
Runner, and Rick Riordan's books will find themselves at home in the battle for good
at the Hadley Academy.
