Each character has a different personality, and I could relate to all of them for various reasons. I really liked Eli, Amber, Malik, and all the other characters whose story we got to hear. I've tried not to give anything away so you can discover what's going on too. I didn't know much about it, so I was pleasantly surprised by the unique plot twist. I have read other books by Gordon Korman and was looking forward to reading Masterminds. But is Eli prepared for what's really going on in Serenity? Is there really something different about eleven of the children that live there? And what should they do with the information they discover? You'll be turning the pages to find out! This prompts Eli and a few friends to begin investigating. This is weird enough, but Randy’s strange behavior before he leaves gets Eli thinking, and he knows Randy must've left him a message. No one has ever moved away from Serenity before. As Eli recovers he finds out that Randy is being shipped off to his grandparent’s farm. When they get to the edge of town Eli gets violently ill, and the police have to come in and helicopter him to safety. When Randy convinces Eli to ride their bikes across the town border to see an old car he and his father discovered, Eli agrees, even though he should ask his dad. They all have pools, they all have video games Their parents love and support them. The kids of Serenity, New Mexico have the perfect lives.

Marya's story gathers intensity with each passing year. She added anorexia to her repertoire a few years later and took great pride in her ability to starve. By age 9, she was secretly bulimic, throwing up at home after school, while watching Brady Bunch reruns on television and munching Fritos. At the age of 5, she returned home from ballet class one day, put on an enormous sweater, curled up on her bed, and cried because she thought she was fat. Precociously intelligent, imaginative, energetic, and ambitious, Marya Hornbacher grew up in a comfortable middle-class American home. |
