Pete figured there would be a lot of reading in sixth grade, but he didn't count on adding the minds of his teachers and classmates to the list. Knowing what they think can be helpful sometimes, but it can also get complicated -- ESPecially when Pete discovers the substitute teacher is thinking about a big robbery.

The Perils of a Paranormal Pre-teen,
This review is from: E. S. Pete: Sixth Grade Sense (Paperback)
"Anyway, being psychic isn't all it's cracked up to be. Like, when I broke the lamp in my parent's bedroom. I knew I was going to be grounded for two weeks. Did that help me get out of it? Noooo! Another problem with reading minds is that it's not an exact science. I mean, I usually know what you're thinking at the moment, but that doesn't mean you won't change your mind. Or, that you're not wrong." - From ESPete Sixth Grade Sense
Pete has the ordinary troubles often plaguing public school sixth graders--things like more homework than the previous year, a big bully in his class, and a girl that he's crazy about. But Pete has another unusual challenge that the others in his class *don't* have: the gift of ESP, or Extra Sensory Perception. With the extraordinary ability to read minds, Pete--nicknamed ESPete by Rodney the bully--must not only navigate the potholes of preteen awkwardness, but also juggle (and often hide) his gift of perceiving the attitudes and motives of his parents, teachers, and classmates. Such is the premise of the first book in a new action-packed series for `Tween readers titled ESPete: Sixth Grade Sense by Arnold Rudnick, who happens to be a paranormal researcher and a darn good writer. With a fast-paced plot and believable characters, this 106-page book was a pleasurable, quick read. Author Rudnick ably portrays the idea that ESP isn't an exact science, weaving Pete's psychic hits and misses throughout the story. In fact, when Pete thinks that his substitute teacher, Frank (N.?) Stein plans to rob the school cafeteria--and then something even more sinister later on--readers are kept guessing at what will really happen. ESPete: Sixth Grade Sense stands on its own merit as a wonderful debut `Tween book, but it's also a fascinating primer on psychic giftedness in children, and how they face the same dilemmas as their peers--but with a few more uncertainties and self-consciousness, at times. Because of some of the dangerous aspects of the story, especially towards the end, I feel this book would actually be better for kids 13 and up (I wouldn't let my 10 year old read this book just yet, myself). But if you're an adult who enjoys great juvenile fiction or escapist reading--or an older kid interested in mysteries and positive portrayals of the paranormal, ESPete: Sixth Grade Sense would make a fine addition to your personal library. And even better news? The second book in the sequel, ESPete: Psychic Hoop Dreams will be coming soon! Hooray!

5.0 out of 5 stars
A fun read for young readers, sure to be relished by many,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: E. S. Pete: Sixth Grade Sense (Paperback)
Super powers are not all they're cracked up to be. "ESPete: Sixth Grade Sense" is the story of young psychic Pete as he deals with all of the problems of sixth grade. Reading the minds of one's teachers isn't all it's cracked up to be, and sometimes being burdened with the contents of a mind is not what a sixth grader wants. "ESPete" is a fun read for young readers, sure to be relished by many.

This review is from: E. S. Pete: Sixth Grade Sense (Paperback)
What an interesting detective story! "ESPete" is packed with quirky, unique characters, each with quick, sharp humor. A quick read, but filled with "I didn't see THAT coming" moments. Movie executives are sure to snap this one up and make it into a smart, fresh movie and TV franchise.
