Review Discovery of the Five Senses by K.N. Smith

Guest Review by Laura 

“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!
