REVIEWS :A well written super powers awakening adventure! While it seems to be intended for young adults, I think it makes for a fun read at any age. I was captured by the end of chapter one and barely put the book down until I was done. Woven into the story are various lessons about life and morality, but as with all good stories they are embedded seamlessly into the action. All of the central characters are well done with different strengths and weaknesses. One of the lessons is that they are far more One of the things I most liked about this book was the blend of the five chosen. This was a great mix between rich and poor, sporty and nerdy, boy and girl and arguing siblings. Everyone had something to offer when the change came and how they worked together was very well shown.Mr. Harris adds to the tension and mystery throughout as the circle are put to the test and must develop their powers as a team as well as individuals. Thrilling read and I am looking forward to the second book. CIRCLE OF FIVE tells the story of five young people who are gifted with special powers linked to a mysterious community. They are put through their training by their teacher, Mr. Harris and told to tell no one the truth about their powers. Each of the teenagers has a separate gift except the youngest, who seems to be unable to do anything like the others can. I found myself relating to Sam as he struggled to find what special power he'd been given through the lightening strike and it seems that Jan Raymond’s first book in her Pha Yul trilogy, CIRCLE OF FIVE, introduces the reader to five young teens (Cassie, Sam, Maya, Ryan and Sebastian) who come from diverse backgrounds and attend the same school. Stuck in detention together during a strange electrical storm, they are frightened and perplexed when they begin to exhibit super powers. A teacher (their coach), brings them together and transports them briefly to a meeting with a mysterious secret society high in the mountains of Tibet. **I received a free copy of this book from the author in exchange for my fair and honest review. **“Circle of Five” is a great adventure and coming-of-age tale for all ages. The prologue starts the reader out with a fantastical scene and mystery all in one. The start of the book hooked me and made me want to keep reading just to find out how everything would tie together. The five teens represent a wide range of characters, each with their own personality that leaps off the page. I thoroughly I really enjoyed this book from the first page. The story follows a group of teenagers brought together by a common bond, that they don’t realize exists. The way the author builds the characters helps you to fall in love with them. Maya, Seb, Ryan, Cassie, and Sam, are all from different cliques, and normally wouldn’t be caught in the same room together. However, one day of detention changes that in a flash and suddenly they are left counting on each other to keep safe. I thought the story was I enjoyed this book more than I had expected. I don't know why I'm always so surprised when I find a YA book which manages to keep my attention, but I still am. Several months ago, I "met" Jan Raymond at an author's event we both attended, and after hearing about her book, I asked her if she would send me a copy. She wasn't looking for a review, but since I thought this was a fabulous book, I decided to write one for her anyway.Circle of Five has an interesting and fairly complex story line. The Wow! I have to say that Jan Raymond has a very compelling way to capture one's attention with her imagination. The situations in the book are quite entertaining and well written. I liked that it captures you from the very beginning. This is a new author for me and I really liked the book. The writing was descriptive, and the characters well drawn. I enjoyed the story line and the suspense. I also think that other readers will like this book as much as I did. Overall, I found that this book takes Circle of Five by Jan Raymond is one of those books that instantly pulls you in and doesn't let go. I had a hard time putting this well-written story down. Raymond has created engaging characters who find themselves along with their new powers. The underlying themes are excellently crafted and woven into a well thought out plot that rolls along nicely. The pages were filled with vivid description and by the end of the book the characters felt like old friends. I hated to turn the last page of I started to read this book on a lazy Saturday morning and before I noticed I had almost finished it. The storyline is very captivating and the characters quite realistic. I loved that this story has something for everyone and somehow felt a bit of a ‘rebel’ in its genre. That said even though this is obviously aimed at young adult readers I think this is a story that everyone who loves a good fantasy story with a hint of magic will enjoy. I can’t wait to read the next installment in this Circle of Five is one of those books which has an alluring cover, it draws you into the story before you even begin reading. This is the story of five children who discover new powers after surviving a traumatic storm. Their common bond only serves to make their friendships stronger.This is a fantastic story. You will fall in love with the characters as they overcome their struggles and you will see a bit of yourself in each one, which is what makes a story great.I look forward to reading more A super start for Raymond. This is a fantastic kick-off to what will become a favorite series of mine. The kids are well-developed and the settings create rich backdrops for their powers.Excited to see where the series leads!
