The Supernaturalist

by COLFER EOIN

Hyperion | December 11, 2008 | Hardcover

In the not-too-distant future, in a place called Satellite City, thirteen-year-old Cosmo Hill is unfortunate enough to come into the world unwanted by his parents. And so, as are all orphaned boys his age, Cosmo is dipped in a vaccine vat and sent to the Clarissa Frayne Institute for Parentally Challenged Boys-freight class. At Clarissa Frayne, the orphans, called "no-sponsors," are put to work by the state, testing dangerous products that never should be allowed near human beings. By the time the no-sponsors are sent to their cardboard utility pipes, given their nightly meal pack, and finally fall asleep, they are often covered in burns, bruises, or sores from the work of the day. Cosmo Hill knows that he must escape, even though he has no idea what might be waiting for him on the outside. He plans for the moment when he can make a break. When that moment finally comes, he nearly dies while escaping. But he is rescued by a gang of "Supernaturalists," a motley crew of kids who all have a special psychic ability-one that Cosmo is about to learn he has as well. They "see" supernatural Parasites-tiny, translucent creatures who feed on the life force of humans. The Supernaturalists

Colfer strikes again

Colfer is possibly one of my favorite authors, as well as myself and Rowling. I read this book as soon as I saw the author. I had recently finished the Artemis Fowl series, and really enjoyed them. I soon found out that this book is very different. It is possible one of the best books i have EVER read!!! I think if you liked the Fowl books, this book is definantly for you. It is set in the distant future, and Colfer definantly has creative visions of what it is like there. If you are stuck on your computer, or just need a good read, come down and purchase this one, it is the building block for books to come!
