About this title

From the Author:

When I first decided to write about a kid who was the most powerful natural hypnotist of all time, I started by researching real hypnotism and hypnotherapy - and promptly threw it all out. I wanted MY brand of hypnotism to be a true paranormal ability, with quirks that can be idiosyncratic one minute and terrifying the next. How would a twelve-year-old handle that much power, whether he's hypnotizing the cafeteria lunch lady for extra gravy or battling the evil Dr. Elias Mako over the fate of the entire world?

Look into the book cover on the opposite page . . . Closer . . . You are very relaxed . . . Getting sleepy . . . Excellent. Now you are in my power . . . When you turn the page, you will remember nothing of me or this blurb. However, the next time you enter a bookstore, it will be your urgent desire to check out a copy of Book 1 of THE HYPNOTISTS, the new series by Gordon Korman.
