Review Discovery of the Five Senses by K.N. Smith
“The sensations the boys were experiencing flowed like
a river meandering through a wild countryside. From blurry to clear, achy to
painful, the gamut had been realized.”
Five friends are surprised to wake up one morning and
discover that they have acquired supernatural abilities in this gripping Young
Adult thriller from author K.N. Smith. After exploring an off-limits nature
preserve late at night, the boys are soon gifted one power each.
One is given super hearing, one a super sense of
touch, one super-powered vision, one super enhanced taste and one a super sense
of smell. Each boy has one of their five senses enhanced to the point that they
can even use them to sense danger.
These gifts are given to the boys from friendly aliens
who take the form of balls of light that dip and dance around the forest
preserve at night. Of course, gifts like this can often come with downsides,
and the boys will have to use their new powers--and the help of a Dark Stranger
that finds them in the preserve-- to fight off a local gang leader who is
intent on securing the powers for himself.
Things get wild and deadly in this novel, and readers
of all ages will enjoy the epic ride! The friendship between the five boys is a
great example of heroes using their loyalty to each other, and, in this case,
to their town, to overcome even the steepest odds.
I loved what Smith did with this novel and I would
love to read more from her! “The Discovery of the Five Senses,” is the type of
book that you don't want to put down until it is finished-- and maybe not even
after that! Luckily, this is book 1 of a series. I would recommend this for
anyone who loves a good Young Adult thriller!
