"I did have fantastic hearing, mostly by virtue of being blind. But that couldn't actually mean that he's trying to tell me I have super powers, right? Because that would be ridiculous." It wasn't the sex talk he expected. Phillip Sallinger's dad has told him he's a custodian, a guardian, and his genetically inherited power is telekinesis. He ll learn to move objects with his mind. Excited to begin superhero high school until he discovers he's assigned to a special ed class for disabled empowered kids, he suddenly feels like an outsider. Bullied, threatened, and betrayed, Phillip struggles, even as he and his friends calling themselves the Ables, find ways to maximize their powers to overcome their disabilities, and are the first to identify the growing evil threatening humanity. As vital custodians disappear and the custodian leadership is mired in indecision, a mysterious and powerful figure taunts Phillip, and the enemy is poised to strike. But what if the next one who does all, the multi-gifted custodian predicted to come, is one of the Ables? The Ables is a fast-paced, captivating debut novel from Jeremy Scott, a bold new voice in fantasy and sci-fi, and already a widely popular storyteller as co-creator and narrator of CinemaSins, a YouTube channel that has amassed more than 3.3 million subscribers in under two years.

Review The heroes of this wildly inventive and unpredictable superhero epic don't want to be ignored, or pitied, or placed on a pedestal. They want what all of us want: The chance to forge their own destiny. The fictional world The Ables inhabit struggles to admit it needs its team of Special Ed heroes. But it does, and I would say our pop culture landscape (and, you know, your bookshelf) needs them even more. -David Wong Executive Editor of Cracked.com and NY Times Bestselling Author

The book had me captivated the whole time I was reading it. Part of the reason it was so great was how original it was. The main characters all of whom have a disability of some form or another made the telling of this story very unique. I don't know about you but a disabled superhero story is something I have never read before. I have read a lot of superhero books before and while this may not be the absolute best of all of them it is definitely up there. I read this book all day for about 12 hours straight. It really is that good. If you're a fan of superhero books you need to read this one. If you're a fan of just great fiction you should read it too.
18 of 19 people found the following review helpful. A good idea, and even better execution. By Patrick J Loller I gave The Ables a five star review because I truly enjoyed the story, and think that it was an original and well executed idea. However, the finished product was difficult to read at points, and my immersion was broken at several points throughout the journey. If you are looking for a fast, well written, and original young adult story about truly ‘handicapable’ children, then The Ables is for you. Just be prepared to scratch your head over formatting, chapter design, and the occasional missed detail. Below are spoilers for the book, and I would recommend that anyone who is interested in reading it stop now.Let’s get the bad out of the way, and then end on a high note.First off, the entire formatting of the book was a confusing choice. Having non indented paragraphs with large spaces between them was distracting and difficult to ignore. My thought is that the author did this intentionally to imitate how I imagine brail might read. Large spaces to separate thoughts and an unattractive presentation that is easier for the blind to read. If that was an intention decision then I applaud the originality. If it wasn’t, well… I would just pretend that it was.I also noted several errors in formatting. One paragraph was split at the end leaving three words floating, another chapter ended on what I assume was supposed to be the heading of the following page, and several pages were left entirely blank. As a self-published author myself I understand how difficult it can be to catch everything, but some of these were fairly obvious, and a quick look would have found them.I also found myself confused on the time line of things. One chapter would end, then in the next the character says it’s been weeks when it only read like one day. I went back several times to ensure I didn’t miss anything. Another character who I originally thought was only deaf was then referenced as being both blind and deaf, and lastly the character’s blindness augmented by his friends sight was often confusing as to how he saw certain things, even after it was explained. I found myself thinking, how could he see that through his eyes? Are they both looking at that spot? Does he have sight now? A lot of that had to do with the No Power Zones that played a large part of the story. It wasn’t always clear when they were or weren’t inside of one, and a reminder from the character would have been helpful.These are just small issues that broke my immersion, and I only draw them out to make the point that I enjoyed this book so much; these things annoyed me for getting in the way. This is also a cinemasins book, so I feel the need to be extra nitpicky. On to the good, which there was a lot of, but I’ll only name a few.The main character was likeable, relatable, and I was constantly rooting for him to overcome. At no point did he seem weak or powerless, despite the hurdle he was forced to overcome. At the half way point of the book when they learned to use their powers together I was almost disappointed, as I wanted to see him kick ass as a totally blind superhero. Still, I was happy to follow him to the logical conclusion of the plot.The author did a fantastic job of treating his characters like normal well rounded people, who happened to have some hindrance in their day to day life. The book did not beat you over the head with trying to sympathize with the characters for their disabilities, instead it just treated them like any other character might be; nice, funny, sarcastic, and even mean. The self-deprecating humor and dialogue were so realistic, that I went out and googled to see if I somehow missed the author himself being blind.The story is well told, a blend of typical high school drama intermixed with super hero tropes, and with a running narrative of evil in the background that reminded me of the Harry Potter series. I was equally invested in both the struggle to fit into school as I was to see the characters take on the big bad. The twists were predictable, but still well done, and the character’s reaction to them made it worthwhile. I saw both of the big twists coming when the foreshadowing was introduced, but was still surprised by the way everyone handled it.All in all, it was a good first novel, and with an obvious hook for a sequel I have no doubt I’ll be enjoying the author’s work again in the future. I will probably buy the audio book just so I can enjoy the author’s voice outside a cinemasins video, and so I can see the story as he meant it to be heard.
22 of 25 people found the following review helpful. EWW The Ables in 300 words or less (no spoilers) By James B. The first thing you need to know is that 'The Ables' is written for a younger audience than you may expect given the content of the authors CinemaSins videos. This is a YA novel, very reminiscent of Harry Potter.The book centers around Phillip, a blind telekinetic and his group of friends, each of whom has a different superpower and disability that renders them an outcast even in the superhero community. But, over time, they learn to fight the forces of evil together.Like I said, the book is fairly Harry Potter-lite. Plain every-boy character discovers he has hidden powers and goes on adventures with them and his friends. In the beginning, the prose was decent, but nothing truly memorable. However, after the first third, Scott kicks the writing up a notch, taking his characters through some unexpected trials and tribulations I had not expected and were quite fun to read.That's not to say that they're weren't flaws. There was maybe one good female character worth mentioning, and her scenes are a blip in the radar of a 300 page book. The plot twists are all things anyone could see coming a mile away without even trying. And, of course, they're were a handful of notable plot holes. The only one I'll mention is that they do have healers, and they don't explain why they can't cure most of the disabilities.All in all, this book was mostly just average. If you like superheroes, you'll probably like this.BOOK SIN TOTALS: 4SENTENCE: SUMMER SCHOOL
