Masterminds

De: Gordon Korman

Narrado por: Ramon De Ocampo, Kelly Jean Badgley, Tarah Consoli

Eli Frieden lives in the most perfect town in the world: Serenity, New Mexico. In this idyllic place, every lawn is perfectly manicured, and everyone has a pool and a tree house. Honesty and integrity are valued above all else. The 30 kids who live there never lie--they know it's a short leap from that to the awful problems of other, less fortunate places.

Eli has never left Serenity. Why would he ever want to? Then one day he bikes to the edge of the city limits, and something so crazy and unexpected happens, it changes everything. Eli convinces his friends to help him investigate further, and soon it becomes clear that nothing is as it seems in Serenity. The clues mount to reveal a shocking discovery, connecting their ideal, crime-free community to some of the greatest criminal masterminds ever known. The kids realize they can trust no one--least of all their own parents....

This is the first book in a thrilling new series from best-selling (noncriminal) mastermind Gordon Korman.

I loved this book it’s so thrilling and so much tension happens and I LOVE IT

Quirky, Fun, and Imaginative!

When one boy becomes violently ill trying to see what's outside of his small town and another is rushed off to an unknown location questions start brewing about the peaceful town the boys live in. Friendships are formed and harrowing searches ensue while 5 special kids search for reasons their little town is not the idyllic safe haven touted by the adults. When several secrets are discovered and feelings of betrayal lead our 5 heroes to concoct an escape life becomes even more shocking. A fantastic listen with many nail bitting moments, psychological questions, and a few good giggles this is likely to become your go-to listen when you're on trips with teens! I highly recommend this book.

Awesome!

I love this audio book and think it is a great way to pass time! Great series

8th grade Middle School

Amazing! We are reading this in my Language Arts class and the kids are loving it. It is part one of a 3 part series and they are alreadylooking forward to the 2nd book (Criminal Destiny).

The different character perspectives are awesome and interesting. MasterMinds has everything: Malik...the resident "bad" guy, Amber...the "perfect" daughter., Tori...the "free" thinker., and Eli..."the "rational" one.

This book leaves you guessing what will happen next. The underlying paradox of the town, Serenity, is fascinating. There are SO many ways to teach this book. I highly recommend this book to anyone, especially to middle school!

Love this whole series!!

I would completely recommend reading the whole series if you even remotely enjoyed this book. It’s so easy to get sucked in and spend a whole day listening to all three!!! Gordon Korman does it again!

awesome a juvenile John Grisham wonderful

I really enjoyed this it was a little slow at first but the ending is absolutely Spectacular Now I have to read the next one

Great book with mostly great narration.

The book is interesting and has a story that, while a bit predictable, has a couple of twists to it to keep it interesting. The narration is mostly good, but the narrator that does Malik's POV is just annoying. That is the only think keeping the performance from being 5 stars. If you can get past his chapters, it is overall an excellent performance.

The best

This book is the best its worth the money and its my favorite book ever.
