Gifted:Now You See It

Hello everybody are you ready for my next post if you are please continue your reading.Once again I read the Gifted series.I've reached book number 5 which is Gifted:Now You See It.It was written by Marilyn Kaye and if I'm not mistaken it was published in 2011.This time the story focuses on Tracey(The one who can be invisible)and Jenna(the one who can read other people's mind)Some of you might have noticed that for every book it will change it leads but one of it leads will always be either Amanda or Jenna.

High and Low
.It finally shows some back story for characters like Martin and Charles
.The story tries to thicken the plot meaning try tomake it more deep,adventurous or thrilling

.The book is once again too short
.Is it me or this may be the most farfetched book of the series

Quick Summary
the students from the Gifted class is getting suspicious about a spy being amongst them since some people know too much information about them.Obviously their first thought is Amanda(Mainly because eventhough she had the perfect oppurtunity to warn Ken about the danger in book 4 she didn't and know she works as a secretary for the principal)but they decided to look up on Charles,Carter and Martin too.While Jenna tried to mind read the principal for any clues but sadly the principal knows how ti mind block her but fearing that he might be careless soon enough he decided to get rid of Jenna by sending her to a rehabilation centre................That's all I guess.

The conclusion
Gifted:Now you see it is probably one of the weakest book of the series.The story did try to make it more interesting but once again the story was simply too short to give a full explanation and that made the story looked a little bit ridiculous.Fortunately the author decided to give a little back story for characters like Martin and Charles who've been largely ignored in the series.The book wasn't that bad but it certainly wasn't great either and one thing I never did quite undersatnd was their accusation towards Amanda I mean Tracey,Jenna and Ken did spend some time with her so wouldn't they know her better.Okay I can understand Ken or Tracey feeling of distrust but Jenna,Imean they were pratically friends in the first book.This series really needs to show something fresh quickly because I generally think that not many people are eagerly waiting for Charles or Martin to become one of the leads.

Rating:7 out of 10

PS:You are probably suprised on why didn't I give it a lower score.I almost decided to give it  a six but since Amanda did appear in this book I decided to be a little bit generous.So if you are Marilyn Kaye and reading this comment right now I do hope that you will make Amanda stand out more in the future books.
